Extract

By an isolated singularity of an algebraic surface in [r] (i.e. space of r dimensions) I shall mean one which not merely is not upon any branch of a multiple curve of the surface, but has also the property that when the surface is projected into [3] from a general space [r − 4] the singular point remains in isolation, i.e. no branch of the double curve created by the projection will of necessity pass through it.
