Karl Menger, Ergebnisse eines Mathematischen Kolloquiums

Ein Nachdruck der bahnbrechenden, aber aus politischen Gründen wenig verbreiteten Zeitschrift Karl Mengers und seines Wiener Mathematischen Kolloquiums. Dieses Quellwerk zur Ideengeschichte der Zwischenkriegszeit enthält einige der wichtigsten Arbeiten zur Topologie, Logik und Wirtschaftstheorie, kommentiert von herausragenden Experten.

Foreword: Economics in a mathematics colloquium.- Menger's Ergebnisse - a biographical introduction.- Logical contributions to the Menger colloquium.- Topology in the Ergebnisse.- An exposition of Wald's existence proof.- On the direction of ideas and the principal tendencies of the Vienna Mathematical Colloquium.- Editorial notices.- Afterword by Franz Alt.

"... This work will be an valuable reference for historians of mathematics. As we reach the end of the century it will be natural to look back at the accomplishments of earlier generations. The destructive influence of the Third Reich on mathematics in central Europe is illustrated vividly in this book." The Mathematical Gazette
