Selected Papers

This volume is a selection from the 281 published papers of Joseph Leonard Walsh, former US Naval Officer and professor at University of Maryland and Harvard University. The nine broad sections are ordered following the evolution of his work. Commentaries and discussions of subsequent development are appended to most of the sections. Also included is one of Walshs most influential works, "A closed set of normal orthogonal function," which introduced what is now known as "Walsh Functions."
