Morrey's research
included work in area of surfaces, calculus of variations, and elliptic partial
differential equations. His work led to the solutions of the 19th and 20th
problems of Hilbert. Morrey's published work is represented by drafts and other
material (18 in.) from several of his books. There are research notes and
drafts (15 in.) some of which relate to his later work on elliptic equations.
Records of Morrey's work with the AMS-MAA Joint Committee on Women in
Mathematics (1972-1976; 3 in.) are also present.
