Overview

Mathematician R.H. Bing laid the foundation for a number of areas of topology. Many of his papers have continued to serve as a source of major theoretical developments and concrete applications. One example was Michael H. Freedman's use of Bing's Shrinking Criterion to solve the four-dimensional Poincare Conjecture. This two-volume set brings together over 100 of Bing's research, expository and miscellaneous papers. These works range over a variety of topics in topology, including the topology of manifolds, decomposition spaces, continua, metrization, general topology, and geometric topology. In addition, there are a number of papers in the areas of convex functions, linearity and conformal varieties. The introductory section in the first volume provides historical background on Bing's life and achievements. This collection should appeal to mathematicians in all areas, and especially those in topology, as well as students, historians and educators in the mathematical sciences, for it provides a complete historical summary of the mathematical events in the life of the man and the mathematics.
