With the Encylopaedia of Mathematical Sciences, Springer-Verlag presents a series of surveys in contemporary mathematics written by/with the cooperation of the foremost specialists worldwide. Major mathematical specialties are covered by a sequence of volumes (such as Topology, Geometry, Algebraic Geometry, Several Complex Variables, Analysis, Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, Number Theory, Partial Differential Equations, and Dynamical Systems) with several famous mathematicians acting as consulting editors. Each volume comprises several articles on closely related topics in that area.

Boas (1912) published the results of a comparative anatomical study of the mammalian adult auricle and its contained cartilage. The work is accompanied by an excellent series of plates illustrating the matter exhaustively. The author has perfected a method of preparing the ear-cartilage so that it can be completely flattened out, thus greatly increasing the possibilities of comparing one form with another. He introduces a new terminology which simplifies the analysis of the different parts of the cartilage. The term plica principalis, used for the cms inferius anthelicis, is a term that will surely be of the greatest value. (George L. Streeter: Development of the Auricle in the Human Embryo).

Éléments de mathématique (English: Elements of Mathematics) is a series of mathematics books written by the pseudonymous French collective Nicolas Bourbaki. Begun in 1939, the series has been published in several volumes, and remains in progress. The series is noted as a large-scale, self-contained, formal treatment of mathematics. The members of the Bourbaki group originally intended the work as a textbook on analysis, with the working title Traité d'analyse (Treatise on Analysis). While planning the structure of the work they became more ambitious, expanding its scope to cover several branches of modern mathematics. Once the plan of the work was expanded to treat other fields in depth, the title Éléments de mathématique was adopted. Topics treated in the series include set theory, abstract algebra, topology, analysis, Lie groups and Lie algebras. The unusual singular "mathématique" (mathematic) of the title is deliberate, meant to convey the authors' belief in the unity of mathematics. A companion volume, Éléments d'histoire des mathématiques (Elements of the History of Mathematics), collects and reproduces several of the historical notes that previously appeared in the work.
