Talk:Singularity theory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shouldn't this page be merged with Mathematical singularity ? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 21:36, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Well, no. A rational function, for example, has singularities; but they have nothing to do with singular points in the sense of singularity theory.

All right. Perhaps there should be some clarification then, or at least a see also link for laics like me - I honestly thought both pages are talking about the same thing. Oh, and singularity page should be updated with links to one of those pages - I have no idea how to phrase the links though. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 20:48, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The introduction is overly "talky" in this section. The chit chat about dropping strings should be moved to another section called something like "informal discussion" and the introduction should be expanded a little bit. I am not expert enough in this topic to make these changes myself.

Also, this page in general is poorly organized. I am well versed in Analysis and know a little Differential Geometry but couldn't get the basic essense of the theory from this page. 169.229.250.214 (talk) 20:48, 29 February 2008 (UTC) A.
