May brings an incisive review of the important quartet of analysis books by E. M. Stein and R. Shakarchi. There is also a fascinating article on tilings, and an exploration of partial differential equations with discontinuous solutions. Finally we offer a remembrance of the distinguished mathematician Herbert Federer. As usual the Doceamus and Scripta Manent and other Communications round out the mathematical picture for May. --Steven G. Krantz, Editor
