I think this book helps develop a clear understanding of the fundamentals of this fascinating subject. Well organized, concise, clear; the author avoids formal theorem proofs, while favors accompanying the explanations with the many illustrations. The book is composed of four parts, which treat (1) analytical-topological properties of elementary catastrophes, (2) applications of the theory in various branches of physics, (3) catastrophes and dynamical systems, (4) a more advanced treatment of catastrophes. I enjoyed reading this book very much. Some knowledge of differential calculus is needed.
