Collected Works of Witold Hurewicz

This book contains papers of the outstanding and veratile mathematician, Witold Hurewicz. Preceding the collection are introductory articles describing Hurewicz's contributions to Borel sets, dimension theory, and algebraic topology. Hurewicz also studied set theory and dimension, and his papers on this topic are especially clear and precise, making them accessible to beginning mathematicians. His five fundamental papers on algebraic topology provide an introduction to homotopy
groups and the Hurewicz Theorem and are presented here in their original form with English translations. Each paper is followed by a review from an eminent mathematician serving as excellent abstracts for the papers.
