Collected papers. Vol. IV. Edited by K. Chandrasekharan und H. Maaß. (Gesammelte Abhandlungen. Band IV. Hrsg. von K. Chandrasekharan und H. Maaß.) (German) Zbl 0402.01011

Berlin, Heidelberg, New York: Springer-Verlag. 343 S. DM 75.00; $ 40.70 (1979).
This is the fourth volume of the Collected Works of Prof. C. L. Siegel. This volume contains 17 papers published during the years 1968–1975, most of which have already been reviewed separately. Each of these papers has new ideas to offer and bears the stamp of the author’s genius.
The noteworthy feature of this volume is, that it contains a list of Prof. Siegel’s books and Lecture Notes along with their source of publication. This would definitely be helpful to the people in the subject. A list of errors and the complete index of the earlier three volumes is also given at the end.
In bringing out these collected works, the editors have without doubt helped the mathematical community a great deal.
Quoting Prof. Siegel “Die Photographie zeigt, wie ich am Ende meiner wissenschaftlichen Tätigkeit ausgesehen habe”, Prof. Maaßsays in the epilogue that this is the last volume of the collected works of Prof. Siegel. Let us pray that this is not the case.
