This book is the first part of a two volume anthology comprising a
selection of 49 articles that illustrate the depth, breadth and scope of
Nigel Kalton's research. Each article is accompanied by comments from an
expert on the respective topic, which serves to situate the article in
its proper context, to successfully link past, present and hopefully
future developments of the theory, and to help readers grasp the extent
of Kalton's accomplishments. Kalton's work represents a bridge to the
mathematics of tomorrow, and this book will help readers to cross it.
Nigel Kalton (1946-2010) was an extraordinary mathematician who made
major contributions to an amazingly diverse range of fields over the
course of his career.
