Professor Atiyah is one of the greatest living mathematicians and is well known throughout the mathematical world. He is a recipient of the Fields Medal, the mathematical equivalent of the Nobel Prize, and is still at the peak of his career. His huge number of published papers, focusing on the areas of algebraic geometry and topology, have here been collected into six volumes, divided thematically for easy reference by individuals interested in a particular subject.
From 1977 onwards his interest moved in the direction of gauge theories and the interaction between geometry and physics.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'Now a single book suffices to provide not only some of the standard references and proofs, but also a variety of informal survey articles which set the whole area in context ... an essential reference.'
