More DescriptionMathematics has a certain mystique, for it is pure and ex-act, yet demands remarkable creativity. This reputation isreinforced by its characteristic abstraction and its own in-dividual language, which often disguise its origins in andconnections with the physical world.Publishing mathematics, therefore, requires special effortand talent.Heinz G|tze,who has dedicated his life to scientific pu-blishing, took up this challenge with his typical enthusi-asm. This Festschrift celebrates his invaluable contribu-tions to the mathematical community, many of whose leadingmembers he counts among his personal friends.The articles, written by mathematicians from around theworld and coming from diverse fields, portray the importantrole of mathematics in our culture. Here, the reflections ofimportant mathematicians, often focused on the history ofmathematics, are collected, in recognition of Heinz G|tze'slife-longsupport of mathematics.
