In [4] B. Iversen studied critical points of algebraic mappings, using algebraic-geometry methods. In particular when algebraic maps have only isolated singularities, he shows the following relation; Let V and S be compact connected non-singular algebraic varieties of dimcV = n, and dimc S = 1, respectively. Suppose f is an algebraic map of V onto S with isolated singularities. Then it follows thatwhere χ denotes the Euler number, μf(p) is the Milnor number of f at the singular point p, and F is the general fiber of f : V → S.
