Abstract
In the following article we have attempted to give some account of the extraordinary work of Hillel Furstenberg and its impact on modern mathematics. His influence goes far beyond his published papers. He shared his ideas freely and many of them appear in papers written by others. No attempt has been made to be exhaustive, but we have tried to mention his major works.
