Abstract
Paul Garabedian and Max Schiffer both arrived at Harvard in 1946, Garabedian as a very young Ph.D. student under Lars Ahlfors and Schiffer as a Research Lecturer, his first appointment in the United States. For an account of how they first met, told in Garabedian’s own words, see Garabedian (Recollections of Menahem Max Schiffer, these Selecta, vol. 1) elsewhere in these Selecta. The first of their 11 joint papers, (Schiffer and Garabedian, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc., 65, 187–238, 1949) was an impressive debut to a long and fruitful collaboration that continued until 1967.

Notes
- 1.
The title notwithstanding, these notes are not at all about partial differential equations, and they contain an interesting chapter by D.C. Spencer on distortion in conformal mapping.
