The Cambridge Colloquium, 1916

The Cambridge Colloquium, 1916: Part 2, Analysis Situs (1918) is a book written by Oswald Veblen. It is a compilation of lectures delivered by Veblen at the Cambridge Colloquium in 1916, which focused on the topic of analysis situs. Analysis situs, also known as topology, is a branch of mathematics that studies the properties of geometric objects that are preserved under continuous transformations, such as stretching or bending. The lectures in this book cover a range of topics related to analysis situs, including the fundamental group, homology, and the classification of surfaces.Veblen was a prominent mathematician and professor at Princeton University. He was known for his work in differential geometry and topology, and was a member of the American Mathematical Society and the National Academy of Sciences. The Cambridge Colloquium, 1916: Part 2, Analysis Situs (1918) is an important contribution to the field of topology and is still widely studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
