Description
First Published in 2018. It is now some fifteen years since Structural Stability and Morphogenesis was first published in the French edition. The purely mathematical theory of singularities of smooth maps has developed tremendously in that time, however, the main interest of this book lies not in its mathematics, but in the methodological perspective opened up by Catastrophe Theory models.
