Proceedings of a Conferencen on Local Fields: NUFFIC Summer School held at Driebergen (The Netherlands) in 1966

Preface
From July 25-August 6, 1966 a Summer School on Local Fields was
held in Driebergen (the Netherlands), organized by the Netherlands
Universities Foundation for International Cooperation (NUFFIC) with
financial support from NATO. The scientific organizing Committee
consisted ofF. VANDER Bw, A. H. M . LEVELT, A. F. MONNA, J.P. MURRE
and T. A. SPRINGER. The Summer School was attended by approximately
80 mathematicians from various countries.
The contributions collected in the present book are all based on the
talks given at the Summer School. It is hoped that the book will serve
the same purpose as the Summer School: to provide an introduction to
current research in Local Fields and related topics.
