Each year the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH) at Zürich invites a selected group of mathematicians to give postgraduate seminars in various areas of pure and applied mathematics. These seminars are directed to an audience of many levels and backgrounds. Now some of the most successful lectures are being published for a wider audience through the Lectures in Mathematics, ETH Zürich series. Lively and informal in style, moderate in size and price, these books will appeal to professionals and students alike, bringing a quick understanding of some important areas of current research.
