Maria Ruas´ Mathematical connections

Terence Gaffney´s  Mathematical connections

About the Worskhop:

International Workshop on Real and Complex Singularities has been established as one of the key events for people working on singularity theory, algebraic geometry, bifurcation theory and related areas. It brings together world experts and young researchers to report recent achievements and exchange ideas, addressing trends of research in a stimulating environment.

This time it will be significantly special to all of us, for we are celebrating the 60th birthdays of Maria Aparecida S. Ruas (Cidinha) and Terence Gaffney, as well as the 10th edition of our biennial The workshop.

The first seven and the ninth workshops took place in São Carlos. The eighth one was at the CIRM, Marseille, France, under the name "VIIIème Rencontre Internationale de São Carlos sur les singularités reelles et complexes au CIRM".
