Overview

Die von Karl Menger und seinen Mitarbeitern (darunter Kurt Gödel) herausgegebenen ""Ergebnisse eines Mathematischen Kolloquiums"" zählen zu den wichtigsten Quellenwerken der Wissenschafts- und Geistesgeschichte der Zwischenkriegszeit, mit bahnbrechenden Beiträgen von Menger, Gödel, Tarski, Wald, John von Neumann und vielen anderen. In diesem Band liegt der Inhalt erstmals gesammelt vor. Der Nobelpreisträger Gerard Debreu schrieb die Einleitung, die Kommentare wurden vom Logiker und Gödel-Biographen John Dawson jr., dem Topologen Ryszard Engelking und dem Wirtschaftstheoretiker Werner Hildenbrand verfasst. Außerdem enthält der Band einen biographischen Aufsatz über Karl Menger sowie einen von Menger verfassten Überblick über die wichtigsten topologischen und geometrischen Arbeiten des Kolloquiums.

Reviews

""... This work will be an valuable reference for historians of mathematics. As we reach the end of the century it will be natural to look back at the accomplishments of earlier generations. The destructive influence of the Third Reich on mathematics in central Europe is illustrated vividly in this book.” The Mathematical Gazette
