This little book is conceived as a service to mathematicians
attending the 1998 International Congress of Mathematicians in
Berlin. It presents a comprehensive, condensed overview of
mathematical activity in Berlin, from Leibniz almost to the present
day (without, however, including biographies of living
mathematicians). Since many towering figures in mathematical
history worked in Berlin, most of the chapters of this book are
concise biographies. These are held together by a few survey
articles presenting the overall development of entire periods of
scientific life at Berlin. Overlaps between various chapters and
differences in style between the chap ters were inevitable, but
sometimes this provided opportunities to show different aspects of
a single historical event - for instance, the Kronecker-Weierstrass
con troversy. The book aims at readability rather than scholarly
completeness. There are no footnotes, only references to the
individual bibliographies of each chapter. Still, we do hope that
the texts brought together here, and written by the various authors
for this volume, constitute a solid introduction to the history of
Berlin mathematics."
