| contents | The interpolation problem is a natural and fundamental question whose roots trace back to ancient Greece. The story is long and rich, with many chapters, and a complete solution has been obtained only recently. Exploring it leads us on a tour through a number of general themes in geometry. This concrete problem motivates fundamental concepts such as moduli spaces and their properties, deformation theory, normal bundles, and more. Questions about smooth objects lead us to consider singular (non-smooth) objects, and in fact these smooth objects are studied by instead focusing on somehow simpler "non-smooth" objects, and then deforming them. |
