Synopsis

This is the third volume of the collected papers of George Polya, one of the most influential mathematicians and teachers of our time. Volumes I (Singularities of Analytic Functions) and II (Location of Zeros) were published in 1974.

Volume III contains 58 papers spanning Polya's career (the earliest is from 1913, the latest from 1976) and covering a wide range of subjects in mathematical analysis and mathematical physics. The commentaries on these papers attest to the fertility and continued importance of Polya's ideas in current mathematics.

This volume is the twenty-second in the series Mathematicians of Our Time, edited by Gian-Carlo Rota.

Review

"George Pólya is one of the celebrated school of Hungarian analysts who made such important contributions to mathematics in the first half of this century... all Pólya's published work is characterized by an elegance of style and a clarity of presentation which often make difficult results appear simpler than they are. Any reader must be impressed by the effort the author takes to explain all the ideas with the utmost lucidity."
— The Times Higher Educational Supplement (review of volumes I and II)
