Mathematics has been behind many of humanity's most significant advances in fields as varied as genome sequencing, medical science, space exploration, and computer technology. But those breakthroughs were yesterday. Where will mathematicians lead us tomorrow and can we help shape that destiny? This book assembles carefully selected articles highlighting and explaining cutting-edge research and scholarship in mathematics. Contents: Preface; Solvability of Quasilinear Elliptic Second Order Differential Equations in Rn without Condition at Infinity; Recent Topics on a Class of Nonlinear Integrodifferential Equations of Physical Significance'; Nonparametric Estimation with Censored Observations; Normalisers of Groups Commensurable with PSL2(Z); Spectral Analysis of a Class of Multigroup Neutron Transport Operators in Slab Geometry; Extremum of a Nonlocal Functional Depending on Higher Order Derivatives of the Unknown Function; On Quantum Conditional Probability Spaces; Index.
