In his rich and varied career as a mathematician, computer
scientist, and educator, Jacob T. Schwartz wrote seminal works in
analysis, mathematical economics, programming languages,
algorithmics, and computational geometry. In this volume of essays,
his friends, students, and collaborators at the Courant Institute
of Mathematical Sciences present recent results in some of the
fields that Schwartz explored: quantum theory, the theory and
practice of programming, program correctness and decision
procedures, dextrous manipulation in Robotics, motion planning, and
genomics. In addition to presenting recent results in these fields,
these essays illuminate the astonishingly productive trajectory of
a brilliant and original scientist and thinker.
