This is a collection of Harald Cramer's extensive work on number theory, probability, mathematical statistics and insurance mathematics. Many of these are not easily found in their original sources nowadays, for instance his pioneering work on risk theory published in the Skandia Insurance Company's jubilee volumes in 1930 and 1955. Despite their age, these eminent examples of Cramer's expository style remain highly readable. Cramer was one of the "fathers" of modern mathematical statistics. His famous book on the subject is still an important reference. His statistical papers included here...

A renowned mathematician who considers himself both applied and theoretical in his approach, Peter Lax has spent most of his professional career at NYU, making significant contributions to both mathematics and computing. He has written several important published works and has received numerous honors including the National Medal of Science, the Lester R. Ford Award, the Chauvenet Prize, the Semmelweis Medal, the Wiener Prize, and the Wolf Prize. Several students he has mentored have become leaders in their fields.
Two volumes span the years from 1952 up until 1999, and cover many...

It is not often that one gets to write a preface to a collection of one's own papers. The most urgent task is to thank the people who made this book possible. That means first of all Hy Bass who, on behalf of Springer-Verlag, approached me about the idea. The late Walter Kaufmann-Biihler was very encouraging; Paulo Ribenboim helped in an important way; and Ina Lindemann saw the project through with tact and skill that I deeply appreciate. My wishes have been indulged in two ways. First, I was allowed to follow up each selected paper with an afterthought. Back in my student days I became aware...

This collection reflects the life's work of one of the great twentieth century French mathematicians. The three volumes cover Leray's seminal work in algebraic topology, fluid mechanics and PDE, and the theory of several complex variables. Including informed introductions by modern mathematicians.

The central and distinguishing feature shared by all the contributions made by K. Ito is the extraordinary insight which they convey. Reading his papers, one should try to picture the intellectual setting in which he was working. At the time when he was a student in Tokyo during the late 1930s, probability theory had only recently entered the age of continuous-time stochastic processes: N. Wiener had accomplished his amazing construction little more than a decade earlier (Wiener, N., "Differential space," J. Math. Phys. 2, (1923)), Levy had hardly begun the mysterious web he was to eventually...

This book collects the papers published by A. Borel from 1983 to 1999. About half of them are research papers, written on his own or in collaboration, on various topics pertaining mainly to algebraic or Lie groups, homogeneous spaces, arithmetic groups (L2-spectrum, automorphic forms, cohomology and covolumes), L2-cohomology of symmetric or locally symmetric spaces, and to the Oppenheim conjecture. Other publications include surveys and personal recollections (of D. Montgomery, Harish-Chandra, and A. Weil), considerations on mathematics in general and several articles of a historical nature:...

Springer-Verlag has invited me to bring out my Selected Works. Being aware that Springer-Verlag enjoys high esteem in the scientific world as a reputed publisher, I have willingly accepted the offer. Immediately, I was faced with two problems. The first was that of acquaint ing the reader with the important stages in my scientific aetivities. For this purpose, I have included in the Selected Works eertain of my early works that have greatly influeneed my later studies. For the same reason, I have also in cluded in the book those works that contain the first, erude versions of the proofs for...

A selection of the mathematical writings of Paul R. Halmos (1916 - 2006) is presented in two Volumes. Volume I consists of research publications plus two papers of a more expository nature on Hilbert Space. The remaining expository articles and all the popular writings appear in this second volume. It comprises 27 articles, written between 1949 and 1981, and also a transcript of an interview.
