FROM THE INTRODUCTION: “This volume grew from a discussion by the editors on the difficulty of finding good thesis problems for graduate students in topology. Although at any given time we each had our own favorite problems, we acknowledged the need to offer students a wider selection from which to choose a topic peculiar to their interests. One of us remarked, `Wouldn’t it be nice to have a book of current unsolved problems always available to pull down from the shelf?’ The other replied `Why don’t we simply produce such a book?’ Two years later and not so simply, here is the resulting volume. The intent is to provide not only a source book for thesis-level problems but also a challenge to the best researchers in the field.”
