MATHEMATICAL SURVEY LECTURES 1943-2004 - BENO E...

In my long professional life as a mathematician I have had to deliver various survey lectures.
They were of different character according to the occasion. A selected number are reproduced in
this volume. They were  with few exceptions  printed in books or in periodicals  and are
reproduced here without any modification. I started as a student at the ETH Zurich in 1935 and
have spent my working Ufe there  with the exception of the period 1942-1948 (lecturer then
associate professor at the University of Lausanne) and 1947 and 1951 52 (Institute for Advanced
Study Princeton). In 1948 I was appointed as a professor at the ETH  I retired in 1984 and have
since then been professor emeritus. The surveys in this volume are lectures given at congresses
and workshops  at international congresses of mathematicians (plenary or section lectures)  and
at special occasions like birthdays or commemorations. They all reflect the special interests
of the respective times. Although they are in fields of topology  algebra and differential
geometry they reveal the big changes mathematics has undergone over the years from 1943 to
2004. New thinking has been developed  it has created new problems  or simply has let old
problems appear in a new light.
