Collected Works of William P. Thurston with Commentary (The Set) cover

This set contains the Collected Works of William P. Thurston with Commentary, Volumes I-III, and The Geometry and Topology of Three-Manifolds.

William Thurston's work has had a profound influence on mathematics. He connected whole mathematical subjects in entirely new ways and changed the way mathematicians think about geometry, topology, foliations, group theory, dynamical systems, and the way these areas interact. His emphasis on understanding and imagination in mathematical learning and thinking are integral elements of his distinctive legacy.

This four-part collection brings together in one place Thurston's major writings, many of which are appearing in publication for the first time. Volumes I-III contain commentaries by the Editors. Volume IV includes a preface by Steven P. Kerckhoff.

“This 4-volume set is a fantastic resource. It provides complete access to material that was as easily available before. . . There is much to learn here. One can also be impressed by the amazing breadth of this collection and by the prodigious number of great results that it includes. It is a great tribute to the genius of one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, as well as a great resource for today's and tomorrow's mathematicians.” - Francis Bonahon (University of Southern California), AMS Notices Reviews
