Presents an approach to analytical and geometrical theories where the monodromy group plays an important role. In this book, the action of the monodromy group is demonstrated in singularity theory and algebraic geometry, within the Picard-Lefschetz formula, the Gauss-Manin connection, the Picard-Fuchs equations, and the mixed Hodge structures. «
