COURANT LECTURE NOTES

A Series in Advanced Mathematics Published Jointly
by the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University
and the American Mathematical Society



The books in this series are published jointly with the American Mathematical Society (AMS), which is the exclusive distributor for the series. The books can be purchased directly from the AMS in several ways:


This series is based on the research interests of the faculty and visitors of the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Some of the volumes are newly typeset editions of books from the previous Lecture Notes series.

These lecture notes originated in advanced graduate courses and minicourses offered at the Courant Institute. The complete list of titles available in this series, including the preface, table of contents, and preview material for each book, can be found on the AMS Bookstore.
