Catastrophe modeling (also known as cat modeling) is the process of using computer-assisted calculations to estimate the losses that could be sustained due to a catastrophic event such as a hurricane or earthquake. Cat modeling is especially applicable to analyzing risks in the insurance industry and is at the confluence of actuarial science, engineering, meteorology, and seismology. (Wikipedia).

Title: Catastrophe theory Abstract: We given an introduction to catastrophe theory by René Thom. After briefly defining what degenerate and non-degnerate critical points of a smooth function are we introduce the algebra of germs of smooth real-valued functions and describe singular germs
