The term “singularity” is used in various contexts. We encounter it in mathematics, physics, mechanics, circuit design, fluid dynamics, and so on. The word “singular” means something that is unique, extraordinary and strange. In higher mathematics, we usually define functions to explain the behavior of any system. These functions are the mathematical objects under consideration. But why do we care about singularities? Is it just a mathematical concept or do we ever see it in real life?
