Techniques of algebraic geometry and resolution of singularities that allow us to analyse asymptotic behaviors of nonlinear differential and difference equations will be introduced. This is particularly interesting for equations such as the continuous and discrete Painlevé equations, for which the general solution cannot be expressed in terms of classical (i.e., earlier known) functions.
