Graduate Studies in Mathematics (GSM) is a series of graduate-level textbooks in mathematics published by the American Mathematical Society (AMS). The covers of these books have a characteristic turquoise color with a yellow band across the middle of the front cover and side. In comparison with the various Springer-Verlag mathematics series, these books have a standardized typeface, which is larger than the vast majority of Springer texts. The pages are also considerably larger: almost one inch taller and 3/4 in. wider.
Books in this series are published only in hardcover.

“The three main medieval points of view regarding universals are designated by historians as realism, conceptualism, and nominalism. Essentially these same three doctrines reappear in twentieth-century surveys of the philosophy of mathematics under the new names logicism, intuitionism, and formalism.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
