Eric T. Bell O. H es viside 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 pans 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.

Synopsis

English translation (from the Russian) of a volume first published in 1982. Multidimensional variational problems are famous for their difficulty, and have generated a vast literature; here the author who writes for the benefit of graduate students and other experts concentrates on methods for minimizing stratified volume and for determining the to
