Vladimir Bernstein (1888-1960) was a Russian, then French, mathematician, Privatdozent at the Royal University of Milan, specializing in function theory. His Leçons sur les Progrès Récents de la Théorie des Séries de Dirichlet (Lessons on Recent Progress in the Theory of Dirichlet Series), lectured at the Collège de France and prefaced by the famous mathematician Jacques Hadamard, is an important work on this branch of mathematical analysis. Dirichlet series are fundamental in analytic number theory and have close ties to zeta functions.

Vol.41 • No. 3 • March 1935 : "gives for the first time a systematic account of all the results obtained by various authors, allowing the reader to get acquainted quickly with a field where many important questions are as yet unanswered. Following the tradition of the "Collection Borel" in which the book appeared, it is not written exclusively for specialists but also for those mathematicians who wish to approach the subject matter for the first time. All necessary auxiliary methods and theorems are completely discussed, some of them in three appendices avoiding the interruption of the exposition of the theory proper. Very clearly written and complete, this book will be of interest to all mathematicians."].
