It is not often that one gets to write a preface to a collection of
one's own papers. The most urgent task is to thank the people who
made this book possible. That means first of all Hy Bass who, on
behalf of Springer-Verlag, approached me about the idea. The late
Walter Kaufmann-Biihler was very encouraging; Paulo Ribenboim
helped in an important way; and Ina Lindemann saw the project
through with tact and skill that I deeply appreciate. My wishes
have been indulged in two ways. First, I was allowed to follow up
each selected paper with an afterthought. Back in my student days I
became aware of the Gesammelte Mathematische Werke of Dedekind,
edited by Fricke, Noether, and Ore. I was impressed by the editors'
notes that followed most of the papers and found them very usefuL A
more direct model was furnished by the collected papers of Lars
Ahlfors, in which the author himself supplied afterthoughts for
each paper or group of papers. These were tough acts to follow, but
I hope that some readers will find at least some of my
afterthoughts interesting. Second, I was permitted to add eight
previously unpublished items. My model here, to a certain extent,
was the charming little book, A Mathematician's Miscel lany by J.
E. Littlewood. In picking these eight I had quite a selection to
make -from fourteen loose-leaf notebooks of such writings. Here
again I hope that at least some will be found to be of interest.
