Continuous Geometry [Abraham Seidenberg's Copy]

72pp. Bound in 11 x 8.5" mimeographed 8.5x11 inch document bound in plain card covers with yellow taped spine, as issued; ownership inscription to front cover of the mathematician A. [Abraham] Seidenberg at Johns Hopkins University. Seidenberg wrote his thesis, Valuation Ideals in Rings of Polynomials in Two Variables, under the direction of leading algebraic geometers and mathematician Oskar Zariski. Very Good. Tape at spine ends is worn and fraying, some corner wear, spotting to bottom textblock edge. Seidenberg has made several mathematical notations in pencil and noted errors in the text. Consists of notes taken by L. Roy Wilcox on lectures given by the famous polymath John von Neumann during 1935-36. There was a later volume of notes from 1936-37.
