Modern Birkhäuser CIassics

Many of the original research and survey monographs in pure and
applied mathematics published by Birkhäuser in recent decades have
been groundbreaking and have come to be regarded as foundational
to the subject. Through the MBC Series, a select number of these
modern classics, entirely uncorrected, are being re-released in
paperback (and as eBooks) to ensure that these treasures remain
accessible to new generations of students, scholars, and researchers.
