What is Singularity?
Singularity is a concept that began as a way to describe a mathematical phenomenon. In mathematics, it refers to a point where a mathematical object or point in a function set, begins to behave in an unusual, undefined or chaotic way. For instance, the function f(x) = 1/x becomes undefined at x=0, the function becomes plus or minus infinity, so this point is known as the singularity of the function. Keeping this mathematical construct in mind, this article will explore the use of singularity in mechanics and the more recent concept of ‘technological singularity’.
