Igor Rostislavovich Shafarevich has made outstanding contributions in number theory, algebra, and algebraic geometry. The flourishing of these fields in Moscow since World War II owes much to his influence. We hope these papers, collected for his sixtieth birthday, will indicate to him the great respect and admiration which mathematicians throughout the world have for him.
