Oeuvres de Paul Painlevé, Tome 1, [notice, leçons de Stokholm] / R. Garnier ; documents réunis par Raymond Gérard, Georges Reeb, Antoinette Sec

This is the first of three large and apparently carefully reproduced volumes contain the scientific works of Paul Painlevé (1863–1933), mathematician and politician. Volume I contains a curriculum vitae of Painlevé, including his most important political offices, a preface by René Garnier setting Painlevé's mathematical activity into focus, an "Hommage" by Arnaud Denjoy, a list of Painlevé's speeches and political writings, some of which were published in his book [ Paroles et écrits, Rieder, Paris (1936; JFM 62.1043.06)], a list of writings and speeches about Painlevé that have been published, a chronological list of 132 scientific publications (from 1886 to 1930, with two items from 1961 based on courses he had taught long before), a list of 25 prefaces written by Painlevé to other books, a general bibliography of works that treat various aspects of the theory of differential equations from Painlevé's point of view, J. Hadamard's description of Painlevé's scientific works [Rev. Métaphys. Morale 14, 289–325 (1934; JFM 60.0837.08)], Painlevé's own analysis [ Analyse des travaux scientifique jusqu'en 1900, Librairie Sci. Tech. A. Blanchard, Paris (1967; Zbl 0153.00101) (reprint of the privately printed 1900 Gauthier-Villars edition)], a list prepared by the editors of the places where specific works of Painlevé are cited in his analysis, and his famous Stockholm lectures of 1895 [ Leçons sur la théorie analytique des équations différentielles professées à Stockhom, Hermann, Paris, (1897; JFM 28.0262.01)], to which the editors have added a brief foreword indicating what things are still of importance and noteworthy about the lectures, a table of contents of the mathematics (not of chapter and section), a chart indicating the relationship between the type of equation and the type of problem and the pages on which they are treated in the Stockholm lectures, a terminological index and a bibliography to the lectures.
