Michael Atiyah Collected Works

Zusatztext The book contains more than a thousand pages of elegant ideas! deep insights and extraordinary mathematics. it should be on the shelf of any mathematical library. Informationen zum Autor Sir Michael Atiyah was awarded the Fields Medal in 1966. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1962 and received the Royal Medal of the Society in 1968 and its Copley Medal in 1988. He gave the Royal Society's Bakerian Lecture on Global geometry in 1975 and was President of the Royal Society from 1990 to 1995. He received the Abel Prize in 2004. Klappentext Professor Atiyah is one of the greatest living mathematicians and is well known throughout the mathematical world. He is a recipient of the Fields Medal! the mathematical equivalent of the Nobel Prize! and is still at the peak of his career.
