Product Description: The influence of Solomon Lefschetz (1884-1972) in geometry and topology 40 years after his death has been very profound. Lefschetz's influence in Mexican mathematics has been even greater. In this volume, celebrating 50 years of mathematics at Cinvestav-Mexico, many of the fields of geometry and topology are represented by some of the leaders of their respective fields...read more

Product Description: This memorial volume is dedicated to E. B. Christoffel on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of his birth. Its aim is, on the one hand, to present the life of Christoffel and the scientific milieu in which he worked and, on the other hand, to present a survey of his work not only in its historical context but especially in the frame of contemporary mathematics and physics...read more

Product Description: Plan der Gesamtausgabe Es liegt auf der Hand, dass keine Aufteilung der Werke allen Wünschen und Anforderungen gerecht werden kann. Streng chronologische Anordnung, wie sie z. B. für die Herausgabe von Korrespondenzen unerlässlich ist, oder Anordnung nach Sachgebieten? Wenige, breite Sachgebiete oder mehrere, schärfer definierte? Soll die Aufteilung der Disziplinen, welche zur Zeit des Autors galt, übernommen werden, oder soll man sich an die eigene, d...read more

This volume contains research papers and survey articles written by Beno Eckmann from 1941 to 1986. The aim of the compilation is to provide a general view of the breadth of Eckmann’s mathematical work. His influence was particularly strong in the development of many subfields of topology and algebra, where he repeatedly pointed out close, and often surprising, connections between them and other areas. The surveys are exemplary in terms of how they make difficult mathematical ideas easily comprehensible and accessible even to non-specialists. The topics treated here can be classified into the following, not entirely unrelated areas: algebraic topology (homotopy and homology theory), algebra, group theory and differential geometry. Beno Eckmann was Professor of Mathematics at the University of Lausanne, 1942-48, and Principal of the Institute for Mathematical Research at the ETH Zurich, 1964-84, where he was therefore an emeritus professor.

Product Description: Die vorliegende deutsche Ausgabe meiner GauBbiographie unterscheidet sich nur geringfugig von dem gleichzeitig erscheinenden korrigierten Nachdruck der englischen Ausgabe. Fur die deutsche Fassung wurden einzelne Passagen abgeandert; dabei handelt es sich vorwiegend urn historische Erlauterungen, die in einer an deutschsprachige Leser gerichteten Ausgabe gestrafft werden konnten...read more
