Editorial Reviews

**** An unabridged reprint of the original ten-volume hardbound edition published between 1988 and 1994 (and cited in the Supplement to Sheehy), itself an updated and annotated translation of the Soviet Mathematical Encyclopedia published by Soviet Encyclopedia Publishing House between 1977 and 1985. The articles are of three kinds: accessible, survey-type articles that deal with the various main directions in mathematics; more expert-oriented, medium-length articles that contain more detailed, concrete problems, results, and techniques; and short (reference) definitions. Most articles were specially written for the Soviet encyclopedia, and practically all contain a list of references. The sixth volume is a detailed, cross- referenced, comprehensive index by subject and name. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
