Modern Birkhauser Classics

Many of the original research and survey monographs in pure andapplied mathematics published by Birkhauser in recent decadeshave been groundbreaking and have come to be regarded as foun-dational to the subject. Through the MBC Series, a select number ofthese modern classics, entirely uncorrected, are being re-released inpaperback (and as eBooks) to ensure that these treasures remain ac-cessible to new generations of students, scholars, and researchers.
