The applications of singularity theory to the natural sciences are not the only aspects of catastrophe theory; along with the concrete investigations of the Zeeman type one has the more philosophical work of the mathematician René Thorn who first revealed the universality of the Whitney singularity theory (and the preceding work of Poincaré and Andronov on bifurcation theory), introduced the term ‘catastrophe theory’ and has been a great propagandist for the subject.
