The Scottish Book. Mathematics from the Scottish Café

A lively mathematics community developed in Poland between the world wars. One result of this was the genesis of The Scottish Book, a collection of problems, many to this day unsolved. The Scottish Book is a record of informal discussions by many of today’s leading mathematicians on topics ranging from summability theory, functional and real analysis, group, measure, and set theory, and probability. This first U.S. edition also includes commentaries on many of the problems and a series of lectures from the Scottish Book conference held at North Texas State University, May 1979.
