EXCERPT: FOREWORD BY THE EDITOR OF THE TRANSLATION Mathematics, in view of its abstractness, offers greater difficulty to the modern expositor than any other science. Yet its rapidly increasing role in modern life creates both a need and a desire for good exposition. In recent years many popular books about mathematics have appeared in the English language, and some of them have enjoyed an immense sale. But for the most part they have contained little serious mathematical instruction, and many of them have neglected the twentieth century, the undisputed "golden age" of mathematics. Although they are admirable in many other ways, they have not yet undertaken the ultimate task of mathematical exposition, namely the large-scale organization of modern mathematics in such a way that the reader is constantly delighted by the obvious economizing of his own time and effort. Anyone who reads through some of the chapters in the present book will realize how well this task has been carried out by the Soviet authors, in the systematic collaboration they have described in their preface. Such a book, written for "a wide circle of the intelligentsia," must also discuss the general cultural importance of mathematics and its continuous development from the earliest beginnings of history down to the present day. To form an opinion of the book from this point of view the reader need only glance through the first chapter in Part 1 and the introduction to certain other chapters; for example, Analysis, or Analytic Geometry.
