Wolf Prize in Mathematics, Volume 4

This invaluable book features bibliographies, important papers, and speeches (for example at international congresses) of Wolf Prize winners, such as David Mumford, Sergei P Novikov, Mikio Sato, Atle Selberg, Saharon Shelah, Stephen Smale, John T Tate and John G Thompson. This is the first time that documents on Wolf Prize winners have been published together. Since the work of the Wolf laureates covers a wide spectrum, much of the mathematics of the twentieth century comes to life in this book.
