Scope and Content Note
Published and unpublished writings by Lewin. They include articles, essays, drafts, proofs, lectures, reviews, bibliographies, Lewin's own student notes, and his undergraduate thesis. Many items are annotated and may be accompanied by materials such as correspondence, handwritten notes, abstracts, scores, and handouts. Boxes 15-16 contain miscellaneous fragments, notes, sketches, scores, handouts, pages from essays and articles, loose sheets, scraps, and doodles that Lewin kept in envelopes or bound together by rubber bands. Their source is not always apparent, but most relate to Lewin’s courses, his writings, conferences, or exchanges with colleagues. A significant amount of these materials consist of mathematical or musical analyses and the working out of problems.
