Abstract:
In this mini-course (about 3 lectures) I am planning to give a brief introduction to Singularity Theory. I will speak about singularities of plane curves, smooth functions and maps and implicit differential equations. In particular, the Division Theorem and Malgrange Preparation Theorem will be given (without proofs), and Whitney Theorem (about generic singularities of mappings of 2-manifolds) will be proved.
