This collection of essays is intended as a tribute to Josef Maria
Jauch on his sixtieth birthd . Through his scientific work Jauch
has justly earned an honored name in the community of theo retical
physicists. Through his teaching and a long line of dis tinguished
collaborators he has put an imprint on modern mathema tical
physics. A number of Jauch's scientific collaborators, friends and
admirers have contributed to this collection, and these essays
reflect to some extent Jauch's own wide interests in the vast do
main of theoretical physics. Josef Maria Jauch was born on 20
September 1914, the son of Josef Alois and Emma (nee Conti) Jauch,
in Lucerne, Switzerland. Love of science was aroused in him early
in his youth. At the age of twelve he came upon a popular book on
astronomy, and an exam ple treated in this book mystified him. It
was stated that if a planet travels around a centre of Newtonian
attraction with a pe riod T, and if that planet were stopped and
left to fall into the centre from any point of the circular orbit,
it would arrive at the centre in the time T/I32. Young Josef
puzzled about this for several months until he made his first
scientific discovery: that this result could be derived from
Kepler's third law in a quite elementary way."
