Throughout the acedemic year 1986-7, the University of Illinois hosted a symposium on mathematical analysis attended by some of the leading figures in the field. This resulting book lays emphasis on the synthesis of modern and classical analysis. The contributed articles cover the mainstream topics and will be essential to researchers in mathematical analysis.
This book covers a wide range of topics, from orthogonal polynomials to wavelets. It contains several high-quality research papers by prominent experts exploring trends in function theory, orthogonal polynomials, Fourier series, approximation theory, theory of wavelets and applications. The book provides an up-to-date presentation of several important topics in Classical and Modern Analysis. The interested reader will also be able to find stimulating open problems and suggestions for future research.
Set theory is an autonomous and sophisticated field of mathematics that is extremely successful at analyzing mathematical propositions and gauging their consistency strength. It is as a field of mathematics that both proceeds with its own internal questions and is capable of contextualizing over a broad range, which makes set theory an intriguing and highly distinctive subject. This handbook covers the rich history of scientific turning points in set theory, providing fresh insights and points of view. Written by leading researchers in the field, both this volume and the Handbook as a whole are definitive reference tools for senior undergraduates, graduate students and researchers in mathematics, the history of philosophy, and any discipline such as computer science, cognitive psychology, and artificial intelligence, for whom the historical background of his or her work is a salient consideration - Serves as a singular contribution to the intellectual history of the 20th century - Contains the latest scholarly discoveries and interpretative insights
