I.M.Gelfand, one of the leading contemporary mathematicians, largely determined the modern view of functional analysis with its numerous relations to other branches of mathematics, including mathematical physics, algebra, topology, differential geometry and analysis. With the publication of these Collected Papers in three volumes Gelfand gives a representative choice of his papers written in the last fifty years. Gelfand's research led to the development of remarkable mathematical theories - most now classics - in the field of Banach algebras, infinite-dimensional representations of...

Aus dem Vorwort: "Die Ergebnisse, Methoden und Begriffe, die die mathematische Wissenschaft dem Forscher ISSAI SCHUR verdankt, haben ihre nachhaltige Wirkung bis in die Gegenwart hinein erwiesen und werden sie unverandert beibehalten. Immer wieder wird auf Untersuchungen von SCHUR zuruckgegriffen, werden Erkenntnisse von ihm benutzt oder fortgefuhrt und werden Vermutungen von ihm bestatigt... Die Besonderheit des mathematischen Schaffens von SCHUR hat einst MAX PLANCK, als Sekretar der physikalisch-mathematischen Klasse der Preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin, gut...

Die Gesammelten Abhandlungen von Ferdinand Georg Frobenius erscheinen in drei Banden. Band I enthalt in chronologischer Abfolge seine Veroffentlichungen von 1870 bis 1880, Band II jene von 1880 bis 1896, und Band III die Artikel von 1896 bis 1917. Band II umfasst die Artikel Nr. 22 bis 52.

Jack Kiefer's sudden and unexpected death in August, 1981, stunned his family, friends, and colleagues. Memorial services in Cincinnati, Ohio, Berkeley, California, and Ithaca, New York, shortly after his death, brought forth tributes from so many who shared in his life. But it was only with the passing of time that those who were close to him or to his work were able to begin assessing Jack's impact as a person and intellect. About one year after his death, an expression of what Jack meant to all of us took place at the 1982 annual meeting of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and the...

In 1996 the AMS awarded Goro Shimura the Steele Prize for Lifetime Achievement: "To Goro Shimura for his important and extensive work on arithmetical geometry and automorphic forms; concepts introduced by him were often seminal, and fertile ground for new developments, as witnessed by the many notations in number theory that carry his name and that have long been familiar to workers in the field."
120 of Shimura's most important papers are collected in five volumes. Volume V contains his mathematical papers from 2002 onwards and some notes to the articles.
