Extract
Singularity theory is concerned with the study of smooth mappings between smooth manifolds. Given two such manifolds X and Y and a pair of smooth mappings f1,f2: X→Y we say that f1 and f2 are -equivalent if there are diffeomorphisms α: X→X and β: Y→Y with βof1oα = f2. Clearly -equivalence is an equivalence relation, and one aims to classify smooth mappings f: X→Y up to this equivalence.
