Professor Atiyah is one of the greatest living mathematicians and is renowned in the mathematical world. He is a recipient of the Fields Medal, the mathematical equivalent of the Nobel Prize, and is still actively involved in the mathematics community. His huge number of published papers, focusing on the areas of algebraic geometry and topology, have here been collected into seven volumes, with the first five volumes divided thematically and the sixth and seventh arranged by date.

This seventh volume in Michael Atiyah's Collected Works contains a selection of his publications between 2002 and 2013, including his work on skyrmions; K-theory and cohomology; geometric models of matter; curvature, cones and characteristic numbers; and reflections on the work of Riemann, Einstein and Bott.

Reviews for Michael Atiyah Collected Works: Volume 7: 2002-2013

Those whose research is in the kind of mathematical physics Atiyah has worked on don't need to be told that this volume is important for them, but I would argue that it will also be of great interest to historians. Atiyah is one of the most significant figures in the mathematics of the late twentieth century, as witnessed by his Abel Prize in 2004. Anyone interested in the period will find valuable source material in the survey essays in this volume. --Fernando Q. Gouvea, MAA Reviews
