M. M. Schiffer, the dominant figure in geometric function theory in the second half of the twentieth century, was a mathematician of exceptional breadth, whose work ranged over such areas as univalent functions, conformal mapping, Riemann surfaces, partial differential equations, potential theory, fluid dynamics, and the theory of relativity. He is best remembered for the powerful variational methods he developed and applied to extremal problems in a wide variety of scientific fields.

Produktbeschreibung
M. M. Schiffer, the dominant figure in geometric function theory in the second half of the twentieth century, was a mathematician of exceptional breadth, whose work ranged over such areas as univalent functions, conformal mapping, Riemann surfaces, partial differential equations, potential theory, fluid dynamics, and the theory of relativity. He is best remembered for the powerful variational methods he developed and applied to extremal problems in a wide variety of scientific fields.

Spanning seven decades, the papers collected in these two volumes represent some of Schiffer's most enduring innovations. Expert commentaries provide valuable background and survey subsequent developments. Also included are a complete bibliography and several appreciations of Schiffer's influence by collaborators and other admirers.

Autorenporträt
Menahem Max Schiffer, a mathematician of many interests, produced a body of work including topics on geometric function theory, Riemann surfaces, and partial differential equations, with a focus on applications and mathematical physics. Perhaps his best known work is that in the calculus of variations, especially extremal problems, which find application in many scientific areas.
This two volume set presents over 50 of the most groundbreaking contributions of this beloved mathematician. All of the reprints of Schiffer s works herein have extensive annotation and invited commentaries, giving new clarity and insight into the impact and legacy of Schiffer's work.
