The book, issued under the auspices of the Science Academy of USSR, collects the main contributions of academician M. A. Lavrent'ev (1900--1980) in different fields of the mathematics. It is prefaced by the Editorial Board, and contains also a biographic essay, the scientific activity of M. A. Lavrent'ev and his complete bibliography of the scientific works. The main mathematical papers of M. A. Lavrent'ev are disposed in the four sections of the book as follows: I. Theory of functions. This section contains 14 papers concerning the homeomorphic sets, the functions of a complex variable represented by polynomial series, or by the limit of polynomial sequences, subclasses in the Baire classification, the conformal mapping, some properties and problems in the theory of schlicht functions. II. Quasiconformal mappings. There are presented 27 papers concerning some classes of continuous mappings, the homeomorphic mappings of three-dimensional domains, quasiconformal mappings and applications. III. Differential equations. The section contains five papers on the first order differential equations, approximate formulas in the Dirichlet problem with applications for a thin layer, mixed type equations (a joint paper with A. V. Bitsadze) and some boundary-value problems for elliptic type systems. IV. Mechanics and mathematical physics. There are presented 10 papers on the following topics: the theory of jet flows, extremal problems in the airfoil theory, the theory of the long waves, the problem of perforation under cosmic velocities, the motion of fluid with free surfaces. Many papers are published here in Russian for the first time. The book is aimed at research workers in pure and applied mathematics.
