Synopsis

Mathematics has a certain mystique, for it is pure and exact, yet demands remarkable creativity. This reputation is reinforced by its characteristic abstraction and its own individual language, which often disguise its origins in and connections with the physical world. Publishing mathematics, therefore, requires special effort and talent. Heinz G"tze, who has dedicated his life to scientific publishing, took up this challenge with his typical enthusiasm. This Festschrift celebrates his invaluable contributions to the mathematical community, many of whose leading members he counts among his personal friends. The articles, written by mathematicians from around the world and coming from diverse fields, portray the important role of mathematics in our culture. Here, the reflections of important mathematicians, often focused on the history of mathematics, are collected, in recognition of Heinz G"tze's life-long support of mathematics.
