From the Introduction: Marston Morse was born in 1892, so that he was 33 yearsold when in 1925 his paper Relations between the critical points of a real-valuedfunction of n independent variables appeared in the Transactions of theAmerican Mathematical Society. Thus Morse grew to maturity just at thetime when the subject of Analysis Situs was being shaped by such masters asPoincare, Veblen, L. E. J. Brouwer, G. D. Birkhoff, Lefschetz and Alexander, and it was Morse's genius and destiny to discover one of the most beautifuland far-reaching relations between this fledgling and...

From the Preface by K. Chandrasekharan: "The publication of this collection of papers is intended as a service to the mathematical community, as well as a tribute to the genius of CARL LUDWIG SIEGEL. In the wide range of his interests, in his capacity to uncover, to attack, and to subdue problems of great significance and difficulty, in his invention of new concepts and ideas, in his technical prowess, and in the consummate artistry of his presentation, SIEGEL resembles the classical figures of mathematics. In his combination of arithmetical, analytical, algebraical, and...

Hilberts algebraische Arbeiten "Uber die Theorie der algebraischen Formen" und "Uber die vollen Invariantensysteme" haben einen umwalzenden Einfluss auf das algebraische Denken gehabt. Sie ragen in Methode und Bedeutung uber den Bereich der Invariantentheorie weit hinaus. Ihr wesentlicher Kern besteht in der Anwendung arithmetischer Methoden auf algebraische Probleme. Indem Hilbert den Invariantenkorper als Spezialfall eines Funktionenkorpers betrachtet, steht er am Wendepunkt einer historischen Entwicklung, woraus spater die allgemeine Theorie der abstrakten Korper, Ringe und Moduln...

The theory of optimal design of experiments as we know it today is built on asolid foundation developed by Jack Kiefer, who formulated and resolved some of the major problems of data collection via experimentation. A principal ingredient in his formulation was statistical efficiency of a design. Kiefer's theoretical contributions to optimal designs can be broadly classified into several categories: He rigorously defined, developed, and interrelated statistical notions of optimality. He developed powerful tools for verifying and searching for optimal designs; this includes the "averaging...
