"Catastrophe Theory is a new mathematical method for describing the evolution of forms in nature. It was created by Rene Thom who wrote a revolutionary book Structural Stability and Morphogenesis in 1972, expanding the philosophy behind the ideas. It is particularly applicable where gradually changing forces produce sudden effects. We often call such effects catastrophes, because our intuition about the underlying continuity of the forces makes the very discontinuity of the effects so unexpected, and this has given rise to the name."--Page 1
