Author

Department of‎ ‎Mathematics, Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, Ahvaz‎, ‎Iran.

Abstract

‎The author narrates how the study and research on the rings of continuous real-valued functions on a topological space initiated in Iran‎. ‎In particular‎, ‎almost completely all the important work of the authors‎, ‎in this field‎, ‎during the last four decades‎, ‎whose related research are carried out in Ahvaz are referred to and where necessary are commented on‎, ‎by the author‎. ‎Also included are some related anecdotes and the contributions of Karamzadeh to the promotion of mathematics in Iran‎, ‎during the past half-century‎.
