Niels Henrik Abel (1802 29) was one of the most prominent mathematicians in the first half of the nineteenth century. His pioneering work in diverse areas such as algebra, analysis, geometry and mechanics has made the adjective 'abelian' a commonplace in mathematical writing. These collected works, first published in two volumes in 1881 after careful preparation by the mathematicians Ludwig Sylow (1832 1918) and Sophus Lie (1842 99), contain some of the pillars of mathematical history. Volume 2 contains additional articles on elliptic functions and infinite series. It also includes extracts...
