These lecture notes are devoted to an area of current research interest that bridges functional analysis and function theory.

These notes constitute a faithful record of a short course of lectures given in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in the summer of 1968. The audience was assumed to be familiar with the basic material of homology and homotopy theory, and the object of the course was to explain the methodology of general cohomology theory and to give applications of K-theory to familiar problems such as that of the existence of real division algebras. The audience was not assumed to be sophisticated in homological algebra, so one chapter is devoted to an elementary exposition of exact couples and spectral sequences."

Numerical Ranges II is a sequel to Numerical Ranges of Operators on Normed Spaces and of Elements of Normed Algebras.

These notes provide a formal introduction to the theory of surreal numbers in a clear and lucid style.

The particular focus of the book is on the remarkable measure supported on the limit set of a discrete group that was first developed by S. J. Patterson.

Papers from the Symposium on stochastic analysis, which took place at the University of Durham in July 1990.

This volume presents an authoritative, up-to-date review of analytic number theory. It contains outstanding contributions from leading international figures in this field. Core topics discussed include the theory of zeta functions, spectral theory of automorphic forms, classical problems in additive number theory such as the Goldbach conjecture, and diophantine approximations and equations. This will be a valuable book for graduates and researchers working in number theory.

The famous theorem of W. Feit and J. G. Thompson states that every group of odd order is solvable, and the proof of this has roughly two parts. The first appeared in Bender and Glauberman's Local Analysis for the Odd Order Theorem, number 188 in this series. The present book provides the character-theoretic second part and completes the proof. Thomas Peterfalvi also offers a revision of a theorem of Suzuki on split BN-pairs of rank one, a prerequisite for the classification of finite simple groups.

This book surveys progress in the domains described in the hitherto unpublished manuscript "Esquisse d'un Programme" (Sketch of a Program) by Alexander Grothendieck. It will be of wide interest among workers in algebraic geometry, number theory, algebra and topology.

These two volumes contain selected papers presented at the international conference on group theory held at St. Andrews in 1989. The themes of the conference were combinatorial and computational group theory; leading group theorists, including J.A. Green, N.D. Gupta, O.H. Kegel and J.G. Thompson, gave courses whose content is reproduced here. Also included are refereed papers presented at the meeting.
