Ambartsumian, the founder of the Byurakan Observatory and luminary in the field who died in 1996, made pioneering contributions to: inverse problems (a term coined by him) in mathematics, invariance problems as applied to the theory of radiative transfer, and radically new concepts of the origin and evolution of stars and galaxies. His mostly self-selected, chronologically-ordered papers from 1932-1985 include: the statistics of double stars, problems of extragalactic research, and the introduction to Nuclei of Galaxies (1971). The original publication index shows the majority of titles to be in Russian; some appear here for the first time in English. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
