From the reviews/Aus den Besprechungen: "...Fur den an der Geschichte der Zahlentheorie interessierten Mathematikhistoriker ist das Buch mindestens in zweierlei Hinsicht lesenswert. Zum einen enthalt der Text eine ganze Reihe von historischen Hinweisen, zum anderen legt der Autor sehr grossen Wert auf eine moglichst allseitige Motivierung seiner Darlegungen und versucht dazu, insbesondere den wichtigen historischen Schritten auf dem Weg zur Klassenkorpertheorie Rechnung zu tragen. Die Anhange von O. Taussky bilden eine wertvolle Erganzung des Buches. ARTINs Vorlesungen von 1932, deren Ubersetzung auf einem Manuskript basiert, das die Autorin 1932 selbst aus ihrer Vorlesungsnachschrift erarbeitete und von H. HASSE durchgesehen sowie mit Hinweisen versehen wurde, durfte fur Mathematiker und Mathematikhistoriker gleichermassen von Interesse sein..."

New York Number Theory Seminar started its regular meeting in January, 1982. The Seminar has been meeting on a regular basis weekly during the academic year since then. The meeting place of the seminar is in midtown Manhattan at the Graduate School and University Center of the City Uni­ versity of New York. This central location allows number-theorists in the New York metropolitan area and vistors an easy access. Four volumes of the Seminar proceedings, containing expanded texts of Seminar''s lectures had been published in the Springer''s Lecture Notes in Mathematics series as volumes 1052 (1984), 1135 (1985), 1240 (1987), and 1383 (1989). Seminar co­ chairmen are pleased that some of the contributions to the Seminar opened new avenues of research in Number Theory and related areas. On a histori­ cal note, one of such contributions proved to be a contribution by P. Landweber. In addition to classical and modern Number Theory, this Semi­ nar encourages Computational Number Theory. This book presents a selection of invited lectures presented at the New York Number Theory Seminar during 1989-1990. These papers cover wide areas of Number Theory, particularly modular functions, Aigebraic and Diophantine Geometry, and Computational Number Theory. The review of C-L. Chai presents a broad view of the moduli of Abelian varieties based on recent work of the author and many other prominent experts. This provides the reader interested in Diophantine Analysis with access to state of the art research. The paper of D. V. and G. V.

This is the third Lecture Notes volume to be produced in the framework of the New York Number Theory Seminar. The papers contained here are mainly research papers. N

The New York Number Theory Seminar was organized in 1982 to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of recent advances in higher arithmetic and its applications. Papers included in this volume are based on the lectures presented by their authors at the Seminar at the Graduate Center of C.U.N.Y. in 1985-88. Papers in the volume cover a wide spectrum of number theoretic topics ranging from additive number theory and diophantine approximations to algebraic number theory and relations with algebraic geometry and topology.
