Bell O. Heaviside Mathematics is a tool for thought. A highly necessary tool in a world where both feedback and non­ linearities abound. Similarly, all kinds of parts of mathematics serve as tools for other parts and for other sciences. Applying a simple rewriting rule to the quote on the right above one finds such statements as: 'One service topology has rendered mathematical physics .. .'; 'One service logic has rendered com­ puter science .. .'; 'One service category theory has rendered mathematics .. .'. All arguably true. And all statements obtainable this way form part of the raison d'etre of this series.

About this title

Synopsis

Vankov, of the Steklov Mathematical Institute, in Leningrad, explains the major concepts underlying various proofs and examines both classical and recent more advanced results. Topics covered include the expansion in automorphic eigenfunctions of Laplacians defined on symmetric Riemann spaces and the study of their spectra, Eisenstein series theory
