Book excerpt: Following the tradition of the American Mathematical Society, the seventh colloquium of the Society was held as part of the summer meeting that took place at the University of Wisconsin, in Madison. Two sets of lectures were presented: On Invariants and the Theory of Numbers, by L.E. Dickson, and Functions of Several Complex Variables, by W.F. Osgood. Dickson considers invariants of quadratic forms, with a special emphasis on invariants of forms defined in characteristic p, also called modular invariants, which have number-theoretic consequences. He is able to find a fundamental set of invar.
