Summary

"Emil Artin was one of the great mathematicians of the twentieth century. Artin had a great influence on the development of mathematics in his time, both by means of his many contributions to research and by the high level and excellence of his teaching and expository writing. In this volume we gather together in one place a selection of his writings wherein the reader can learn some mathematics as seen through the eyes of a true master."--Jacket.
