內容簡介
This book gives a present-day account of Marston Morse's theory of the calculus of variations in the large. However, there have been Im-portant developments during the past few years which are not mentioned.Let me describe three of these.

J.Milnor ,世界著名數學傢,1962年菲爾茲奬獲得者1989年沃爾夫奬獲得者。Morse理論作為變分學裏麵的重要一部分,已被應用到許多數學分支,我國著名數學傢北京大學張恭慶院士將其推廣至無窮維。
