Title: Stratified Morse theory and the critical locus of a linear functional

Abstract. In this talk I will use stratified Morse theory to relate the number of critical points of a generic linear functional on a complex analytic manifold M to the Euler characteristics of M and a generic hyperplane slice of M.
