Synopsis

This collection of articles on mathematics and related topics from 1972-1994 have been put in chronological order so that the reader can "see", in Part 1, the evolution of some of Thom's professional ideas in mathematics and in Part 2, to "glimpse" his philosophical ideas in the mathematical sciences as they relate to the ideas in Part 1.
