Review

"This delightfully written book overflows with beautiful mathematics, requiring only linear algebra, multi-variable calculus, and a little mathematical sophistication." The American Mathematical Monthly

Book Description

The differential geometry of curves and surfaces in Euclidean space has fascinated mathematicians since the time of Newton. Here the authors cast the theory in a new light, that of singularity theory. This new edition includes a chapter on recently developed techniques in the classification of functions of several variables.
