Selected Works of Phillip A. Griffiths with Commentary
Containing four parts such as Analytic Geometry, Algebraic Geometry, Variations of Hodge Structures, and Differential Systems that are organized according to the subject matter, this title provides the reader with a panoramic view of important and exciting mathematics during the second half of the 20th century.
The Selected Works of V.S. Varadarajan
Reprints 22 articles by Varadarajan (mathematics, U. of California-Los Angeles) selected to highlight his contributions in a broad range of areas. They include probability theory, various mathematical aspects of quantum mechanics, harmonic analysis on reductive groups and symmetric spaces, and the modern theory of meromorphic differential equations. The papers are reproduced from their original publications between 1963 and 1997, and so exhibit a variety of types and layout styles. The appearance of two numbers for each page would be confusing if there were an index to consult. Member prices are $100 for institutions and $75 for individuals. Published in conjunction with the International Press. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Selected Works of Ellis Kolchin with Commentary
Assembles the papers of Ellis Kolchin, co-creator of differential algebra, and offers commentaries on the history of differential algebra and on Kolchin's work and mathematical legacy. Commentaries discuss the differential Galois theory in the context of Kolchin's interest in the theory of algebraic groups, recent work on the calculation of differential Galois groups, the origins of Kolchin's thought, important developments in differential algebra, and work in differential algebraic groups and Diophantine geometry.

A3 & His Algebra
A3 & HIS ALGEBRA is the true story of a struggling young boy from Chicago's west side who grew to become a force in American mathematics. For nearly 50 years, A. A. Albert thrived at the University of Chicago, one of the world's top centers for algebra. His "pure research" in algebra found its way into modern computers, rocket guidance systems, cryptology, and quantum mechanics, the basic theory behind atomic energy calculations. This first-hand account of the life of a world-renowned American mathematician is written by Albert's daughter. Her memoir, which favors a general audience, offers a personal and revealing look at the multidimensional life of an academic who had a lasting impact on ...
Selected Papers of E. B. Dynkin with Commentary
Eugene Dynkin is a rare example of a contemporary mathematician who has achieved results in two quite different areas of research: algebra and probability. In both areas, his ideas constitute an essential part of modern mathematical knowledge and form a basis for further development. Although his last work in algebra was published in 1955, his contributions continue to influence current research in algebra and in the physics of elementary particles. His work in probability is part of both the historical and the modern development of the topic.
Hypergeometric Functions on Domains of Positivity, Jack Polynomials, and Applications
This book is the first set of proceedings to be devoted entirely to the theory of hypergeometric functions defined on domains of positivity. Most of the scientific areas in which these functions are applied include analytic number theory, combinatorics, harmonic analysis, random walks, representation theory, and mathematical physics - are represented here. This volume is based largely on lectures presented at a Special Session at the AMS meeting in Tampa, Florida in March 1991, which was devoted to hypergeometric functions of matrix argument and to fostering communication among representatives of the diverse scientific areas in which these functions are utilized. Accessible to graduate students and others seeking an introduction to the state of the art in this area, this book is a suitable text for advanced graduate seminar courses for it contains many open problems.
Azumaya Algebras, Actions, and Modules
This volume contains the proceedings of a conference in honor of Goro Azumaya's seventieth birthday, held at Indiana University of Bloomington in May 1990. Professor Azumaya, who has been on the faculty of Indiana University since 1968, has made many important contributions to modern abstract algebra. His introduction and investigation of what have come to be known as Azumaya algebras subsequently stimulated much research on such rings and algebras, as well as applications to geometry and number theory. In addition to honoring Professor Azumaya's contributions, the conference was intended to stimulate interaction among three areas of his research interests; Azumaya algebras, group and Hopf algebra actions, and module theory. Aimed at researchers in algebra, this volume contains contributions by some of the leaders in these areas.
Symbolic Dynamics and its Applications
This volume contains the proceedings of the conference, Symbolic Dynamics and its Applications, held at Yale University in the summer of 1991 in honour of Roy L. Adler on his sixtieth birthday. The conference focused on symbolic dynamics and its applications to other fields, including: ergodic theory, smooth dynamical systems, information theory, automata theory, and statistical mechanics. Featuring a range of contributions from some of the leaders in the field, this volume presents an excellent overview of the subject.
$p$-Adic Methods in Number Theory and Algebraic Geometry
Two meetings of the AMS in the autumn of 1989 - one at the Stevens Institute of Technology and the other at Ball State University - included Special Sessions on the role of p-adic methods in number theory and algebraic geometry. This volume grew out of these Special Sessions. Drawn from a wide area of mathematics, the articles presented here provide an excellent sampling of the broad range of trends and applications in p-adic methods.
