Book DetailsCBMS Regional Conference Series in MathematicsVolume: 27; 1977; 65 ppMSC: Primary 57
The purpose of these notes is to introduce the reader to the question of how many geometrically distinct foliations, if any, can be constructed on a given manifold.
The notes are based on lectures given in a Regional Conference at Washington University in January 1975.
