Cover illustrations: Pictured is part of the ornate ceiling of the University of Illinois' original grand library building, Altgeld Hall. Newton Alonzo Wells was commissioned near the end of the last century to do four murals for the vaulted ceiling to illustrate the four colleges of the university then. To the left in the photograph is The Forge of Vulcan, the mural depicting the College of Engineering. Today, the mathematics library is in Altgeld Hall and is only one of 38 branches or divisions of the university's library, which is the fifth largest library in the United States. Photograph by Don Hamerman for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Office of Publications.
The four-color cover illustrations are made possible by a generous grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
