Description

This collection of reprints of 'Featured Reviews' published in ""Mathematical Reviews"" (MR) makes widely available peer reviews of some of the best mathematics published 1994-1996. 'Featured Reviews' was introduced in ""MR"" at the beginning of 1995 in part to provide some guidance to the current research-level literature. With the exponential growth of publications in mathematical research in the first half-century of MR, it had become essentially impossible for the users of MR to identify the most important new research-level books and papers, especially in fields outside of users' own expertise.This first volume identifies some of the papers and books of significant importance published in 1994-1996 in areas of pure or applied mathematics. All of the papers reviewed in this book contain interesting ideas or applications, a deep synthesis of existing ideas, or any combination of these. The book is illustrated with photos. The volume leads readers to important research across all fields covered by MR.

Description

This second volume of ""Featured Reviews"" makes available special detailed reviews of some of the most important mathematical articles and books published from 1997 through 1999. Also included are excellent reviews of several classic books and articles published prior to 1970. Among those reviews, for example, are the following: ""Homological Algebra"" by Henri Cartan and Samuel Eilenberg, reviewed by G. Hochschild; ""Faisceaux Algebriques Coherents"" by Jean-Pierre Serre, reviewed by C. Chevalley; and ""On the Theory of General Partial Differential Operators"" by Lars Hormander, reviewed by J. L. Lions.In particular, those seeking information on current developments outside their own area of expertise will find the volume very useful. By identifying some of the best publications, papers, and books that have had or are expected to have a significant impact in applied and pure mathematics, this volume will serve as a comprehensive guide to important new research across all fields covered by MR.
