ERNST ZERMELO, Collected Works/Gesammelte Werke in two volumes, edited by Heinz-Dieter Ebbinghaus, Craig G. Fraser, and Akihiro Kanamori, published in the series of publications of the class for mathematics and the sciences of the Heidelberger Akademie der Wissenschaften by Springer-Verlag. Just appeared: Volume I: Set Theory, Miscellanea/ Band I: Mengenlehre, Varia, xxiv + 654 pp., edited by Heinz-Dieter Ebbinghaus and Akihiro Kanamori in collaboration with Oliver Deiser, Juergen Elstrodt, Ulrich Felgner, Michael Hallett, Albert Henrichs, Paul B. Larson, Charles Parsons, R. Gregory Taylor, Dirk van Dalen, and Dieter Wolke. This first volume of the Zermelo edition focuses on Zermelo's work in set theory and the foundations of mathematics and is supplemented by his papers in pure mathematics. The published papers are accompanied by selected items from Zermelo's Nachlass and some letters. Whereas the papers span the time between Zermelo's first encounter with set theory around 1900 in Goettingen and the end of his mathematical research in the mid-1930s in Freiburg, the selected items mainly stem from the early 1930s, from a time when Zermelo's foundational views were in growing opposition to the mainstream developments in mathematical logic. In order to provide access to a wider audience, the original papers are printed face to face with English translations. Each paper or coherent group of papers is preceded by an introductory note which comments on contents, motivation, aims, and influence of the paper(s) concerned and is written by an expert in the field. Volume II will be dedicated to Zermelo's work in the calculus of variations, mathematical physics, and fluid dynamics. _______________________________________________ Logica-l mailing list [email protected] http://www.dimap.ufrn.br/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/logica-l
