Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -'Visions in Mathematics - Towards 2000' was one of the most remarkable mathematical meetings in recent years. It was held in Tel Aviv from August 25th to September 3rd, 1999, and united some of the leading mathematicians worldwide. The goals of the conference were to discuss the importance, the methods, the past and the future of mathematics as we enter the 21st century and to consider the connection between mathematics and related areas.The aims of the conference are reflected in the present set of survey articles, documenting the state of art and future prospects in many branches of mathematics of current interest.This is the first part of a two-volume set that will serve any research mathematician or advanced student as an overview and guideline through the multifaceted body of mathematical research in the present and near future.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 472 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Georg Heing, a charming, erudite man, and a rst rate mathematician died un- pectedly of a heart attack on May 10, 2005. Georg is survived by his wife Gerti, his daughter Susanne, and his son Peter. We have lost one the leading experts in the eld of structured matrices, a wonderful colleague, and a terri c friend. GeorgHeinig¿sresults,approaches,andhisscienti ctastein uencedourc- munity of researchers working on structured matrices. In fact, the community¿s focus grew to re ect his interdisciplinary vision ranging from applications (e.g., in systems and control theory and signal processing) through fundamental mat- matics(structuredmatrices,periodicJacobi,Toeplitz,andWiener-Hopfoperators, classesofsingularintegraloperators,resultantsandBezoutiansforoperator-valu ed polynomials and continual analogs thereof) to numerical analysis and fast al- rithms. The broad spectrum of Georg Heinig¿s interests are represented in this collection. Georg served as an Associate Editor of two top journals: Integral Equations andOperatorTheoryand LinearAlgebraand Its Applications. This volumestarts with two eulogies published earlier by IEOT and LAA. The rst one, published in IEOT is by Albrecht Bot ¿ tcher, Israel Gohberg (who was Georg¿s advisor during his Ph.D. studies), and Bernd Silbermann. The second one, published in LAA is by Karla Rost who collaborated with Georg during last three decades until day of his death. They have produced together more than 30 papers and a monograph.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 448 pp. Englisch.
