%0 Generic %1 ghys2016singular %A Ghys, Etienne %D 2016 %K 2016 book mathematics %T A Singular Mathematical Promenade %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1612.06373 %X This is neither an elementary introduction to singularity theory nor a specialized treatise containing many new theorems. The purpose of this little book is to invite the reader on a mathematical promenade. We pay a visit to Hipparchus, Newton and Gauss, but also to many contemporary mathematicians. We play with a bit of algebra, topology, geometry, complex analysis and computer science. Hopefully, some motivated undergraduates and some more advanced mathematicians will enjoy some of these panoramas.
