Vladimir Igorevich Arnold is one of the most influential mathematicians of our time. V. I. Arnold launched several mathematical domains (such as modern geometric mechanics, symplectic topology, and topological fluid dynamics) and contributed, in a fundamental way, to the foundations and methods in many subjects, from ordinary differential equations and celestial mechanics to singularity theory and real algebraic geometry. Even a quick look at a partial list of notions named after Arnold already gives an overview of the variety of such theories and domains: KAM (Kolmogorov Arnold Moser)...

Here is the second volume of the collected works of one of the great mathematical scientists of our time, renowned both for the breadth and depth of his work. This publication focuses on his research in hydrodynamics, bifurcation theory and algebraic geometry.
