Karl Menger, one of the founders of dimension theory, is among the most original mathematicians and thinkers of the twentieth century.

In recognition of professor Shiing-Shen Chern's long and distinguished service to mathematics and to the University of California, the geometers at Berkeley held an International Symposium in Global Analysis and Global Geometry in his honor in June 1979.

Andre Weil's mathematical work has deeply influenced the mathematics of the twentieth century. Part of a three-volume set, this work collects his papers in chronological order and includes lengthy commentaries on many of the articles written by Weil himself.

This softcover edition features two additional, recently published articles, one on the life and works of Andre Weil, the other one on Finite Subgroups of Lie Groups.

This volume offers a selection of key papers from Joseph Leonard Walsh, former US Naval Officer and professor at University of Maryland and Harvard University. It includes one of Walsh's most influential works, "A closed set of normal orthogonal function."

Vinogradov (1891 - 1983) was one of the creators of modern analytic number theory. In addition to some early works, it contains the initial proofs of many of Vinogradov's basic theorems as well as the later improved versions, and also two substantial monographs.

These articles span the years from 1961-1980 while David Mumford was an active researcher in the area of algebraic geometry. This volume includes many important papers previously omitted. Mumford's correspondence with Grothendieck is also included.

In making selections for reprinting we have tried to keep in mind three potential audiences: (1) the historian who would like to know Robbins' seminal role in stimulating a substantial proportion of current research in mathematical statistics;

Karl Menger, one of the founders of dimension theory, is among the most original mathematicians and thinkers of the twentieth century.

Mumford is a well-known mathematician and winner of the Fields Medal, the highest honor available in mathematics. Many of these papers are currently unavailable, and the commentaries by Gieseker, Lange, Viehweg and Kempf are being published here for the first time.

, "Uber die analytische Methoden in der Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung," Math Ann. , "Zur Theorie der stochastischen Prozesse," Math Ann. , "Stochastic processes depending on a continuous parameter, " TAMS 42 (1937)) still appeared impregnable to all but the most erudite.

This book offers a collection of 22 research papers of Irving Kaplansky, each followed up with new comments, often including references to later papers by other authors. Also included are eight hitherto unpublished items, covering a variety of topics.

Here are the collected papers of Serge Lang, who has made numerous contributions to mathematics. One of the top mathematicians of our time, Lang received the American Mathematical Society's Cole Prize, and the Prix Carriere from the French Academy of Sciences.

lt is hoped that in addition to making his contributions more accessible by collecting them in one place, these volumes would help focus renewed attention on his ideas and methods as well as lend additional perspective to them." The papers are arranged chronologically, Volume III collects his articles written between 1959 and 1968.
