Papers on General Topology and Applications: Seventh Summer Conference at the University of Wisconsin, June 26-29 1991(v. 704 Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences)

This work offers papers on general topology and its applications, including, but not limited to, indecomposable continua, semigroups, dynamical systems, Boolean algebras and categorical patterns. Many of the papers reflect the influence of Mary Ellen Rudin on their authors.
