Das vierbändige Set über Linear Partial Differential Operators von Lars Hörmander ist ein Klassiker. Innerhalb kurzer Zeit liegen bereits die zweite Auflage von Band I, Grundlehren Bd. 256 und ein korrigierter Nachdruck von Grundlehren Bd. 257 vor. Aufgrund des großen Interesses wurde Band I noch mehr auf den Lehrbuchcharakter focussiert, was insbesondere durch die Fülle von Übungsaufgaben, teilweise mit Lösungen und Lösungshinweisen, deutlich gemacht wird.
About the author
Lars Hörmander, born 1931 in Sweden, did his secondary schooling as well as his undergraduate and doctoral studies in Lund. His principle teacher and adviser at the University of Lund was Marcel Riesz until he returned, then Lars Gårding. In 1956 he worked in the USA, at the universities of Chicago, Kansas, Minnesota and New York, before returning to a chair at the University of Stockholm. He remained a frequent visitor to the US, particularly to Stanford and was Professor at the IAS, Princeton from 1964 to 1968. In 1968 he accepted a chair at the University of Lund, Sweden, where, today, he is Emeritus Professor.§§Hörmander's lifetime work has been devoted to the study of partial differential equations and its applications in complex analysis. In 1962 he was awarded the Fields Medal for his contributions to the general theory of linear partial differential operators.
