Starting in 2012 Springer and the Italian National Institute for Higher Mathematics (INdAM) will collaborate to publish a new book series Springer INdAM Series. At least three books in the field of pure and applied mathematics will be published annually. Professor Vincenzo Ancona, President of INdAM, is editor-in-chief of the book series.
Springer INdAM Series will publish textbooks, multi-author books, theses and monographs which result from workshops, conferences, courses, seminars and research activities carried out at INdAM. The books in the series will discuss recent results and analyze new trends in mathematics and its applications. Springer will hold exclusive distribution rights and will be responsible for sales and marketing. All books in the series will be available as eBooks on Springer's online platform www.springerlink.com, and in print-to-order (PTO) format.
Dr. Francesca Bonadei, Executive Editor Mathematics, Statistics and Engineering at Springer, said, "The role of INdAM is crucial in supporting the development of Italian mathematical research by working with the most distinguished Italian mathematicians, and also in fostering links to the international community. Springer is honored to work with this respected society and proud to introduce this book series to the international scientific community."
The Italian National Institute for Higher Mathematics / Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica was founded in 1939. It promotes the development of mathematical research and supports mathematical culture in Italy, with the most important activities carried out at an international level. INdAM also organizes advanced courses for the most outstanding young students and researchers in mathematics.
