This volume contains the proceedings of a Symposium held in honor of Emmy Noether's lOOth birthday which was sponsored by the Association for Women in Mathematics, and held at Bryn Mawr College on March 17, 18 and 19, 1982. It was fitting that the Symposium be held at Bryn Mawr, where Noether held her last position. Indeed, the lectures were held in Goodhart Hall, where the famous Memorial Address was delivered by Hermann Weyl on April 29, 1935. The Association for Women in Mathematics is honored to have sponsored this event, which was judged by many of those attending to have been not only...

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.

Armand Borel's mathematical work centered on the theory of Lie groups. Because of the increasingly important place of this theory in the whole of mathematics, Borel's work influenced some of the most important developments of contemporary mathematics. His first great achievement was to apply to Lie groups and homogenous spaces the powerful techniques of algebraic topology developed by Leray, Cartan, and Steenrod. In 1992, Borel was awarded the International Balzan Prize for Mathematics "for his fundamental contributions to the theory of Lie groups, algebraic groups and arithmetic groups, and...
