Best for teachers, students, and readers looking for stronger mathematical understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn April of 1996 an array of mathematicians converged on Cambridge, Massachusetts, for the Rotafest and Umbral Calculus Workshop, two con ferences celebrating Gian-Carlo Rota's 64th birthday. It seemed appropriate when feting one of the world's great combinatorialists to have the anniversary be a power of 2 rather than the more mundane 65. The over seventy-five par ticipants included Rota's doctoral students, coauthors, and other colleagues from more than a dozen countries. As a further testament to the breadth and depth of his influence, the lectures ranged over a wide variety of topics from invariant theory to algebraic topology. This volume is a collection of articles written in Rota's honor. Some of them were presented at the Rotafest and Umbral Workshop while others were written especially for this Festschrift. We will say a little about each paper and point out how they are connected with the mathematical contributions of Rota himself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer Science \u0026 Business Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46416425582791,"sku":"1-99-510-001755","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/9575\/6487\/files\/9780817638726.jpg?v=1776275994","url":"https:\/\/snowflakeskies.com\/products\/mathematical-essays-in-honor-of-gian-carlo-rota-1998-2","provider":"Snowflake Skies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
