Overview
The book contains a selection of 43 scientific papers by the great mathematician Ennio De Giorgi (1928-1996), which display the broad range of his achievements and his entire intellectual career as a problem solver and as a proponent of deep and ambitious mathematical theories. All papers are written in English and 17 of them appear also in their original Italian version in order to give an impression of De Giorgi's original style. The editors also provide a short biography of Ennio De Giorgi and a detailed account of his scientific achievements, ranging from his seminal paper on the solution of Hilbert's 19th problem to the theory of perimeter and minimal surfaces, the theory of G-convergence and the foundations of mathematics.

Author Information
Ennio de Giorgi (Lecce, February 8, 1928 - Pisa, October 25, 1996) was an influential Italian mathematicians of the 20th century. He made important contributions to mathematical analysis, in particular to the study of minimal surfaces and to the regularity of the solutions of elliptic partial differential equations. In terms of the regularity of solutions of elliptic partial differential equations, one of his major contributions was to solve the 19th Hilbert problem. At roughly the same time he solved it, John Forbes Nash solved it in a completely independent fashion. His work has influenced Luis Caffarelli and many other mathematicians.
