Book DetailsDocuments MathématiquesVolume: 15; 2017; 573 ppMSC: Primary 55; 57; 14; 32
A note to readers: This book is in French.
This first volume of René Thom's complete mathematical works contains the articles published before 1960, together with fascinating previously unpublished texts and comments that put the whole in perspective.
This volume includes the essentials of Thom's contribution to algebraic and differential topology, born in collaboration with Henri Cartan and Charles Ehresmann, for which Thom was awarded a Fields Medal in 1958. Next come the articles about the founding of singularity theory, which was developed in the sixties and led Thom to invent catastrophe theory.
The volume begins with a substantial biographical notice and a bibliography of Thom's mathematical and nonmathematical works.
A publication of the Société Mathématique de France, Marseilles (SMF), distributed by the AMS in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Orders from other countries should be sent to the SMF. Members of the SMF receive a 30% discount from list.
