Chapter
Part of the Progress in Mathematics book series (PM, volume 244)

Abstract

Israel Gelfand is one of the handful of mathematicians who really shaped the mathematics of the twentieth century. Even among them he stands out by the fecundity of the concepts he created and the astonishing number of new fields he originated.
