GÖDEL, Kurt (1906-1978), Georg August NÖBELING (1907-2008), Karl MENGER (1902-1985), Abraham WALD (1902-1950), and Franz Leopold ALT (1910-2011). Ergebnisse eines mathematischen Kolloquiums. Heft 1 [-8. 1928-1936]. Leipzig: Teubner, 1931-1933 (Heft 1-5) and Deuticke 1935-1937 (Heft 6-8).
8 parts in one volume, 8° (226 x 150mm). (Last two leaves with light finger-soiling, pp.5-6 in Heft 6 mis-trimmed and lightly creased, occasional very faint and insignificant creasing of corners.) Later black cloth, preserving original front wrappers and final rear wrapper (wrapper of Heft 3 with tiny chips and nicks). Provenance: B. Schweizer (pencil ownership inscription on front endpaper).
VERY RARE COMPLETE SET OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE FAMOUS MATHEMATICS COLLOQUIUM FOUNDED BY KARL MENGER. Initiated at the University of Vienna in 1928, the colloquium included some of the 20th-century's most important and influential mathematicians, including: Kurt Gödel; Franz Alt (one of Menger's Ph.D. students; founding member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) in 1947, later deputy director of American Institute of Physics in the 1970s); John von Neumann (built a framework for quantum mechanics, worked in game theory, and was one of the pioneers of computer science); Georg Nöbeling (student of Menger's; later president of the German Mathematical Society); Olga Taussky-Todd (helped publish David Hilbert's Collected Works while at Göttingen); and Abraham Wald (student of Menger's who obtained his Ph.D. in 1930 after taking only three courses, one of the founders of operational research). Many of these published pioneering papers in the present work. 'In particular, the field of mathematical economics was profoundly influenced by the discussion of equilibrium equations by Schlesinger and the response by Wald in March of 1934 ... which as Menger said, ... marked "an end of the period in which economists simply formulate equations, without worrying about the existence or uniqueness of their solutions." Another paper of fundamental importance was contributed by John von Neumann ... who presented a generalization of Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem. Karl Menger spent the academic year 1930/31 in the United States visiting Harvard University and the Rice Institute in Houston, Texas ... Menger kept in touch with his students and the Kolloquium in Vienna through Georg Nöbeling, who wrote him in early 1931 of the groundbreaking work of Kurt Gödel ... . Menger promptly interrupted the lecture series he was giving at the Rice Institute to report about Gödel's discovery ... "Thus the mathematicians at Rice Institute were probably the first group in America to marvel at this turning-point of logic and mathematics."' (Illinois Institute of Technology website).
