Menahem Max Schiffer, a mathematician of many interests, produced a body of work including topics on geometric function theory, Riemann surfaces, and partial differential equations, with a focus on applications and mathematical physics. Perhaps his best known work is that in the calculus of variations, especially extremal problems, which find application in many scientific areas.This two volume set presents over 50 of the most groundbreaking contributions of this beloved mathematician.
