On the 17th and 18th of June 2002, the Laboratory of Mathematics of Nantes University (supported by CNRS) organized a meeting to celebrate the memory of Jean Leray. At this time, the laboratory was named Laboratoire Jean Leray. This volume begins with the lecture by Yves Meyer, which relates the scientific life of Jean Leray. The lectures that follow illustrate most aspects of the scientific works of J. Leray and show the wide spectrum of his work.

The book is suitable for graduate students and research mathematicians interested in differential equations, geometry, and topology.

A publication of the Société Mathématique de France, Marseilles (SMF), distributed by the AMS in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Orders from other countries should be sent to the SMF. Members of the SMF receive a 30% discount from list.
