Annals of Mathematics Studies is a series of mathematical books published by the Princeton University Press beginning in 1940. When the Institute for Advanced Study opened in 1933, its professors would give courses of lectures where notes were taken and written up. Originally these were mimeographed and distributed by the Princeton University math department. When Albert W. Tucker joined the department, he was put in charge of the mimographing machine, which eventually turned into coordinating coordinating all of the note taking process. In 1940 the Annals of Mathematics Studies was founded to publish these notes. Tucker has said "And I must say that through all the various things that I've had a hand in here at Princeton, there is nothing that gives me greater pride than Annals of Mathematics Studies."
Many winners of the Fields Medal, which is frequently referred to as the Nobel prize of mathematics, have authored books in this series, including Vladimir Voevodsky, Gerd Faltings, Pierre Deligne, Curtis McMullen, Jean Bourgain, Peter Scholze, David Mumford, and John Milnor. There are also books authored by winners of the Steele Prize for Mathematical Exposition, including William Fulton, David Eisenbud, François Trèves, and Elias M. Stein.
