Mathematics across the iron curtain : a history of the algebraic theory of semigroups
Hollings, Christopher
Mathematics across the iron curtain : a history of the algebraic theory of semigroups - Rhode Island: American Mathematical Society, 2014. - xi, 441 p.; hb; 26 cm. - History of mathematics ; v. 41. .
Includes bibliographical references (pages 373 - 428) and indexes.
The theory of semigroups is a relatively young branch of mathematics, with most of the major results having appeared after the Second World War. This book describes the evolution of (algebraic) semigroup theory from its earliest origins to the establishment of a full-fledged theory. Semigroup theory might be termed 'Cold War mathematics' because of the time during which it developed. There were thriving schools on both sides of the Iron Curtain, although the two sides were not always able to communicate with each other, or even gain access to the other's publications. A major theme of this boo.
