Collected Mathematical Papers, V2 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258810900)

The Collected Mathematical Papers, Volume 2 is a book written by George David Birkhoff, a renowned mathematician who made significant contributions to the field of mathematics. This book is a collection of Birkhoff's papers on various topics in mathematics, including algebra, geometry, topology, and analysis. The papers included in this volume were written between the years 1912 and 1928 and were originally published in various mathematical journals.The book is divided into four parts, each of which covers a different area of mathematics. Part one focuses on algebra and includes papers on the theory of groups, rings, and fields. Part two covers geometry and topology, with papers on the topology of curves and surfaces, the geometry of numbers, and the topology of knots. Part three is dedicated to analysis, with papers on measure theory, harmonic analysis, and the calculus of variations. Finally, part four covers miscellaneous topics, including papers on the foundations of mathematics and the philosophy of science.Overall, the Collected Mathematical Papers, Volume 2 is a comprehensive collection of Birkhoff's early work in mathematics, providing insight into the development of his mathematical ideas and the evolution of the field of mathematics during the early 20th century. This book is an essential resource for mathematicians and students of mathematics who are interested in the history and development of the field.Additional Contributors Are B. O. Koopman, M. R.
