Singular Points of Plane Curves

Zusammenfassung The study of singularities uses techniques from algebra! algebraic geometry! complex analysis and topology. This book introduces graduate students to this attractive area of mathematics. It is based on a MSc course taught by the author and also is an original synthesis! with new views and results not found elsewhere. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1. Preliminaries; 2.
