The Workshop on Real and Complex Singularities is held every other year at the Instituto de Ciencias Matematicas e de Computacao (Sao Carlos, Brazil) and brings together specialists in the vanguard of singularities and its applications. This volume contains articles contributed by participants of the seventh workshop. The included papers reflect Fields Medalist Rene Thom's original vision of singularities and represent all branches of the subject: equisingularity of sets and mappings, the geometry of singular complex analytic sets, singularities of mappings and their elimination, characteristic classes, applications to differential geometry, differential equations, and bifurcation theory. The book is suitable for graduate students and researchers interested in singularity theory
