ISBN: 9810239467 ISBN-13: 9789810239466 Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company OUR PRICE: $321.10 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: December 2000 Annotation: The Wolf Prize, awarded by the Wolf Foundation in Israel, often goes to mathematicians who are in their sixties or older. That is to say, the Prize honours the achievements of a lifetime. This invaluable book features bibliographies, important papers, and speeches (for example at international congresses) of Wolf Prize winners, such as R Bott, A P Calderon, M G Krein, H Lewy, L Lovasz, J Moser, I Piatetski-Shapiro, Y Sinai, C L Siegel, J P Serre, E M Stein and O Zariski. This is the first time that lectures by some Wolf Prize winners have been published together. Since the work of the Wolf laureates covers a wide spectrum, much of the mathematics of the twentieth century comes to life in this book. |
