Seminal work, a thoughtful book ahead of its time
René Thom (1923-2002) was one of the greatest mathematicians of the XXth century. He had broad interests outside mathematics as well and thought that his work in topology could be used to bring light into other subjects, particularly biology. His catastrophe theory was hotly debated during the seventies, both loved and hated, and was finally almost forgotten as the lights of fame spotted on chaos theory. Catastrophe theory is a mathematical formalism to explain sudden changes of continuous functions. As such, René Thom's mathematics is as good as it always was. Whether or not it can be useful to explain facts of the real world may be debatable, but Thom has undoubtedly succeeded in bringing advanced mathematical methods in the natural sciences, particularly biology. This book is a gem, the treasure output of an insightful mind. A true source of mathematical and scientific inspiration. A note of warning though: you will need heavy mathematical background to understand this book, and you will have to go through other books on catastrophe theory and topology in order to get the grasp of what is in here.

An Ingenious Classic
Rene Thom was the primary force behind the creation of Catastrophe Theory, and this is the book that brought his ideas forth. (This is actually the English translation of his original French edition.)

Thom uses topology as his primary mathematical tool for describing and investigating catastrophes and stabilities. As such, this is primarily a qualitative, not a quantitative, approach.The advantage of this is that it allows Thom to spend a great deal of time discussing general characteristics without getting bogged down in formulae or proofs. Indeed, the book is largely text, interspersed with graphs and only the occasional polynomial or differential equations.

And Thom is very insightful when discussing those general characteristics. Along the way he comments on everything from embryology to societal structures as viewed from the perspective of catastrophe theory. Much of the value of the book is buried not in the technical results as it is in his understated comments and speculations regarding the myriad of applications he investigates. Alot of careful and deep thought is present, and there is a significant amount of pregnant wisdom inside.

I originally came to read Thom via the profound books of theoretical biologist Robert Rosen. As someone not conversant in topology or catastrophe theory, I can say that there were some parts that were a technical struggle, but the content is well worth the effort. Someone versed in the math of dynamical systems and topology would be the more typical target audience.

But I stress again that the technical value is equalled or surpassed by the insights Thom brings to understanding physical systems of many types.

the only thing he left out was black holes
I would say his book is very visionary and inspiring of thought. You need some mathematical maturity to understand some of his notation, but there isn't a lot of it. It's more of a science book than a math book in my opinion. His pictures of examples of all of the kinds of the 7 catastrophes were very insightful. This caused me to think of examples on my own.

Product Description
The French mathematician and philosopher René Thom is well known for his catastrophe theory. But he has also left behind and interesting philosophical legacy. The core of the philosophy of René Thom is a conception derived from mathematics and generalized for philosophical approach, structural stability. The attempt to make sense of the objective reality has lead Thom to the creation of semio physics, the physics of sense, which is based on the theory of salience and pregnance. Thom claims his approach to be a direct continuation of Aristotelian physics which, according to Thom, is topological by its essence. This book presents a critical analysis of Thom?s understanding of Aristotle supporting his general idea, but pointing out several shortcomings Thom has in understanding the great Ancient Greek thinker. The context makes it possible to address an intriguing topic of the relationship of science and magic. The book contains an analysis of the conception of structural stability and its application to the general theory of models that Thom claims to have created on the basis of his catastrophe theory. The closing section of the book is dedicated to social science. ... Read more

Universidad de Alicante. 2000. 144 p.
Durante más de dos siglos ha triunfado en Occidente una filosofía del Hombre vital, existencial, psicológico..., siendo la Naturaleza poco más que un obstáculo para el dominio total de lo humano sobre la Tierra. Pero el hombre es parte de la naturaleza -un atractor astuto- que transforma todo cuanto toca en una morfología hecha a su imagen y semejanza. En este libro se ensaya una ética que pretende conjugar las ideas de Naturaleza y de Hombre. Aunque la ética no es una casuística, ha de tener la potencia suficiente para analizar situaciones morales conflictivas. Aquí se pone a prueba su capacidad, analizando una de las formas de violencia más destructivas de nuestra época: el consumo in-humano de drogas.
Fernando-Miguel Pérez Herranz. Profesor de Filosofía de la Universidad de Alicante. Es autor de Lenguaje e intuición espacial (1996), Árthra hê péphyken: Las articulaciones naturales de la filosofía(1998), Lógica para humanistas, 2 vols., (1998-99) y de diversos artículos. ... Read more

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In mathematics, catastrophe theory is a branch of bifurcation theory in the study of dynamical systems it is also a particular special case of more general singularity theory in geometry. Bifurcation theory studies and classifies phenomena characterized by sudden shifts in behavior arising from small changes in circumstances, analysing how the qualitative nature of equation solutions depends on the parameters that appear in the equation. This may lead to sudden and dramatic changes, for example the unpredictable timing and magnitude of a landslide. Catastrophe theory, which originated with the work of the French mathematician René Thom in the 1960s, and became very popular due to the efforts of Christopher Zeeman in the 1970s, considers the special case where the long-run stable equilibrium can be identified with the minimum of a smooth, well-defined potential function Small changes in certain parameters of a nonlinear system can cause equilibria to appear or disappear, or to change from attracting to repelling and vice versa, leading to large and sudden changes of the behaviour of the system ...

Extrait :, Montbéliard (en franc-comtois : Monbyai) est une commune française qui fait partie de la métropole Rhin-Rhône, elle est située dans le département du Doubs et la région Franche-Comté. Les habitants de Montbéliard sont appelés officiellement les Montbéliardais, mais ont le surnom de « Trissus » suite aux dérangements gastriques causés par la consommation, aux siècles derniers, de vin aigrelet fabriqué à partir des vignes poussant sur les collines du pays. Un ancien nom germanique de Montbéliard fut Mömpelgard. La première trace écrite de la ville (Montem Billiardae) date de 935. Il s'agit alors d'un petit groupe d'habitations situé sur un rocher fortifié surplombant le confluent de l'Allan et de la Lizaine. Le nom de « Montbéliard » vient d'un prénom féminin d'origine germanique. Les alentours du site de Montbéliard étaient déjà très développés dès l'époque antique, comme en témoigne les ruines du théâtre gallo-romain de Mandeure. Jusqu'au siècle, la région de Montbéliard est dominée par cette cité. Ensuite, Montbéliard devient la nouvelle puissance locale.

Excerpt: Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher, FRS (17 February 1890 29 July 1962) was an English statistician, evolutionary biologist, eugenicist and geneticist. He was described by Anders Hald as "a genius who almost single-handedly created the foundations for modern statistical science," and Richard Dawkins described him as "the greatest of Darwin's successors". Fisher was born in East Finchley in London, England, to George and Katie Fisher. His father was a successful fine arts dealer. He had a happy childhood, being doted on by three older sisters, an older brother, and his mother, who died when Fisher was 14. His father lost his business in several ill-considered transactions only 18 months later. Although Fisher had very poor eyesight he was a precocious student, winning the Neeld Medal (a competitive essay in Mathematics) at Harrow School at the age of 16. Because of his poor eyesight, he was tutored in mathematics without the aid of paper and pen, which developed his ability to visualize problems in geometrical terms, as opposed to using algebraic manipulations. He was legendary in being able to produce mathe...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=140824 ... Read more
