Surveys in Differential Geometry, Vol. 10: Essays in Geometry in Memory of S.S. Chern (2008 reissue)
Surveys in Differential Geometry Vol 10 Essays in Geometry in Memory of SS Chern - 2008 reissue Author:various This volume includes lectures on geometry and topology related to the works of the late and venerated S.S. Chern. From the 2005 JDG conference at Harvard University. Larger-format 2008 re-issue with corrected table of contents. Surveys in Differential Geometry (SDG) is an annual collection of the invaluable talks given at the JDG conferen... more »ce, as well as of remarks from invited scholars. The series presents an overview of recent trends, while making predictions and suggestions for future research. The SDG series is a beneficial collection for experts and non-experts alike, and in particular, for those independent of the mainstream of activity in the field of geometry.
