Ergebnisse der Mathematik und ihrer Grenzgebiete/A Series of Modern Surveys in Mathematics
is a series of scholarly monographs published by Springer-Verlag. The title literally means "Results in mathematics and related areas". Most of the books were published in German or English, but there were a few in French and Italian. There have been several sequences, or Folge: the original series, neue Folge, 3.Folge. Some of the most significant mathematical monographs of 20th century appeared in this series.

Mathematics
Mathematics is the study of quantity, space, structure, and change. Mathematicians seek out patterns and formulate new conjectures. Mathematicians resolve the truth or falsity of conjectures by mathematical proofs, which are arguments sufficient to convince other mathematicians of their validity...

Scope
The publisher's description states:- Ergebnisse der Mathematik und ihrer Grenzgebiete, now in its third sequence, aims to provide summary reports, on a high level, on important topics of mathematical research. Each book is designed as a reliable reference covering a significant area of advanced mathematics, spelling out related open questions, and incorporating a comprehensive, up-to-date bibliography.
The original series
The series started in 1932 with publication of Knotentheorie by Kurt ReidemeisterKurt Reidemeister
Kurt Werner Friedrich Reidemeister was a mathematician born in Braunschweig , Germany.He received his doctorate in 1921 with a thesis in algebraic number theory at the University of Hamburg under the supervision of Erich Hecke. In 1923 he was appointed assistant professor at the University of Vienna...

neue Folge
This sequence started in 1950 with publication of Transfinite Zahlen by Heinz Bachmann. The volumes are consecutively numbered, designated as either Band or Heft. Total of 100 volumes were published, often, in multiple editions, but preserving the original numbering within the series.The ISSN for this sequence is 0071-1136.
