A renowned mathematician who considers himself both applied and theoretical in his approach, Peter Lax has spent most of his professional career at NYU, making significant contributions to both mathematics and computing. He has written several important published works and has received numerous honors including the National Medal of Science, the Lester R. Ford Award, the Chauvenet Prize, the Semmelweis Medal, the Wiener Prize, and the Wolf Prize. Several students he has mentored have become leaders in their fields.

Review

From the reviews:

"This is a collection of papers by one of the great mathematicians of our time. ... The depth and wide range covered by Lax’s research contributions illustrate his broad view of mathematical analysis as a whole. The editors ... have done an excellent job: they didn’t just collect some papers ‘at random’, but also explain, in detailed commentaries, the contents and importance of the included publications at the end of each section." (J�rgen Appell, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1087, 2006)

"Since Peter Lax was chosen as the recipient of the 2005 Abel Prize, it’s hardly necessary to say that his work is important. Libraries should consider his Selected Papers an essential acquisition. This first volume collects papers on partial differential equations, difference equations approximating PDEs, hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, and integrable systems." (Fernando Q. Gouv�a, MathDL, October, 2005)
