Thus Morse grew to maturity just at the time when the subject of Analysis Situs was being shaped by such masters as Poincaré, Veblen, L. E. J. Brouwer, G. D. Birkhoff, Lefschetz and Alexander, and it was Morse's genius and destiny to discover one of the most beautiful and far-reaching relations between this fledgling and Analysis; a relation which is now known as \u003ci\u003eMorse Theory. \u003c\/i\u003eIn retrospect all great ideas take on a certain simplicity and inevitability, partly because they shape the whole subsequent development of the subject. And so to us, today, Morse Theory seems natural and inevitable. This whole flight of ideas was of course acclaimed by the mathematical World...it eventually earned him practicallyevery honor of the mathematical community, over twenty honorary degrees, the National Science Medal, the Legion of Honor of France, ...\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marston Morse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1493934155\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781493934157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/26\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 882\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.84d","brand":"Marston Morse","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43936286310655,"sku":"9781493934157","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e38c2a74-d18c-43b7-8c83-725c27d9da0f.jpg?v=1681424679","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/selected-papers-marston-morse-9781493934157","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
