Curves and Singularities is a Fascinating Book

The book "Curves and Singularities" is an excellent introduction to the the use of calculus in studying curves and surfaces. I enjoyed the sections on osculating cirles, degree of contace, envelopes, and jets. There are many exercies and examples to guide the reader.
