The unity of mathematics : in honor of the ninetieth birthday of I.M. Gelfand / Pavel Etingof, Vladimir Retakh, I.M. Singer, editors.
"A tribute to the vision and legacy of Israel Moiseevich Gelfand, the invited papers in this volume reflect the unity of mathematics as a whole, with particular emphasis on the many connections among the fields of geometry, physics, and representation theory. Written by leading mathematicians,...
