内容简介
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 ,世界著名数学家,1962年菲尔兹奖获得者1989年沃尔夫奖获得者。Morse理论作为变分学里面的重要一部分,已被应用到许多数学分支,我国著名数学家北京大学张恭庆院士将其推广至无穷维。
