Robert Langlands formulated his celebrated conjectures, initiating
the Langlands Program, at the age of 31, profoundly changing the
landscape of mathematics. Langlands, recipient of the Abel Prize,
is famous for his insight in discovering links among seemingly
dissimilar objects, leading to astounding results. This book is
uniquely designed to serve a wide range of mathematicians and
advanced students, showcasing Langlands' unique creativity and
guiding readers through the areas of Langlands' work that are
generally regarded as technical and difficult to penetrate. Part 1
features non-technical personal reflections, including Langlands'
own words describing how and why he was led to formulate his
conjectures. Part 2 includes survey articles of Langlands' early
work that led to his conjectures, and centers on his principle of
functoriality and foundational work on the Eisenstein series, and
is accessible to mathematicians from other fields. Part 3 describes
some of Langlands' contributions to mathematical physics.
