New fields have emerged, the diffusion into other disciplines has proceeded apace, and our knowledge of the classical areas has grown ever more pro- found. At the same time, one of the most striking trends in modern mathematics is the constantly increasing interrelation- ship between its various branches. Thus the present-day students of mathematics are faced with an immense mountain of material. In addition to the traditional areas of mathe- matics as presented in the traditional manner—and these presentations do abound—there are the new and often en- lightening ways of looking at these traditional areas, and also the vast new areas teeming with potentialities. Much of this new material is scaitered indigestibly throughout the research journals, and frequently coherently organized only in the minds or unpublished notes of the working mathematicians.
