Eliakim Hastings Moore was an American mathematician whose work focused on algebraic geometry and group theory. His mathematical style was known for its rigor and depth, often exploring abstract concepts to lay the groundwork for future advancements in the field. Moore's contributions significantly influenced the development of modern mathematics, and his legacy lives on through the work of his students and followers.
This collection of mathematical papers was presented at the International Mathematical Congress held in Chicago in 1893. The papers cover various topics including algebraic geometry, number theory, and mathematical physics. They are written by some of the most prominent mathematicians of the time and form an important historical record of the state of mathematical research at the end of the 19th century.
