Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the notions of map-germs of pedal unfolding type and normalized Legendrian map-germs; and then we show that the fundamental theorem of calculus provides a natural one to one correspondence between Whitney umbrellas of pedal unfolding type and normalized swallowtails.
