Encyclopaedia of Mathematics C An updated and annotated translation of the Soviet ‘Mathematical Encyclopaedia’

"The publication of the English edition of the
Soviet Encyclopaedia of

Mathematics
is an important event. I looked at several entries in my own field of algebra and found the articles authoritative, well organized, and lucidly written. The volumes will be of graet help to anyone interested in mathematics."

K.A. Hirsch, Professor Emeritus, Queen Mary College, London

The articles are well written (and) authoritative... all large academic libraries should have (the Encyclopaedia of Mathematics)."

Choice, June 1988

"Not a text to read from cover to cover (though one is tempted?), but a fascinating and invaluable reference book, which should be on every library's shelves. Highly recommended.'
