Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Signed. Signed and inscribed to previous owner by all three authors on the front free page. Previous owner was Steven Smale, an American mathematician. He was awarded the Fields Medal in 1966, and spent more than three decades on the mathematics faculty of the University of California, Berkeley (1960-61 and 1964-1995). In 1958, he astounded the mathematical world with a proof of a sphere eversion. He then cemented his reputation with a proof of the Poincare conjecture for all dimensions greater than or equal to 5; he later generalized the ideas in a 107 page paper that established the h-cobordism theorem. Lightly read. Minor wear on spine.
