Serge Lang (1927-2005) was one of the top mathematicians of our
time. He was born in Paris in 1927, and moved with his family to
California, where he graduated from Beverly Hills High School in
1943. He subsequently graduated from California Institute of
Technology in 1946, and received a doctorate from Princeton
University in 1951 before holding faculty positions at the
University of Chicago and Columbia University (1955-1971). At the
time of his death he was professor emeritus of Mathematics at Yale
University. An excellent writer, Lang has made innumerable and
invaluable contributions in diverse fields of mathematics. He was
perhaps best known for his work in number theory and for his
mathematics textbooks, including the influential Algebra. He was
also a member of the Bourbaki group. He was honored with the Cole
Prize by the American Mathematical Society as well as with the Prix
Carriere by the French Academy of Sciences. These five volumes
collect the majority of his research papers, which range over a
variety of topics.
