CRC Press/Chapman and Hall Handbooks in Mathematics Series

AIMS AND SCOPE STATEMENT FOR HANDBOOKS IN MATHEMATICS SERIES

The purpose of this series is to provide an entree to active areas of mathematics for graduate students, beginning professionals, and even for seasoned researchers. Each volume should contain lively pieces that introduce the reader to current areas of interest. The writing will be semi-expository, with some proofs included for texture and substance. But it will be lively and inviting. Our aim is to develop future workers in each field of study.

These handbooks are a unique device for keeping mathematics up-to-date and vital. And for involving new people in developing fields. We anticipate that they will have a distinct impact on the development of mathematical research.
