The Legacy of Niels Henrik Abel The Abel Bicentennial, Oslo, 2002

Abel's influence on modern mathematics is substantial. This is seen in many ways, but maybe clearest in the number of mathematical terms containing the adjective Abelian. In algebra, algebraic and complex geometry, analysis, the theory of differential and integral equations, and function theory...
