Opis

The Wolf Prize, awarded by the Wolf Foundation in Israel, often goes to mathematicians who are in their sixties or older. The prize honours the achievements of a lifetime. This volume features bibliographies, papers and speeches (for example at international congresses) of Wolf Prize winners, such as L. Ahlfors, H. Cartan, L. Carleson, S.S. Chern, E. de Giorgi, S. Eilenberg, P. Erdos, F. Hirzebruch, L. Hormander, K. Ito, J.B. Keller, K. Kodaira, R. Langlands and J. Leray. The work of the Wolf laureates covers a wide spectrum, featuring much of the mathematics of the 20th century.
