Overview and metadata sections

Dwork, Bernard M.

Bernard M. Dwork (1923-1998) was an eminent mathematician who pioneered the application of p-adic analytic methods to the algebraic geometry of varieties over finite fields. He taught at Harvard and Johns Hopkins before coming to Princeton in 1964. Because of his contributions to number theory, he was named Princeton's Eugene Higgins Professor of Mathematics in 1978.

The collection consists of a chronological series of 101 mathematical notebooks (1958-1997) of Dwork, labeled in Roman numerals I - C (XLVI has A and B); 27 additional mathematical notebooks and manuscripts (1950-1991, but mostly undated); correspondence A-W (1960-1992); and miscellaneous additional correspondence and subject files.

Roughly arranged in these groups: chronological notebooks (Boxes 1-3); miscellaneous notebooks (Box 4); alphabetical correspondence (Boxes 5-6); miscellaneous additional files (Boxes 6-9).

Gift of Mrs. Shirley Dwork in 2005.
