{"product_id":"mathematical-essays-in-honor-of-bruce-sagan-9780817638726","title":"Mathematical Essays in Honor of Gian-Carlo Rota","description":"In 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Sagan, Richard Stanley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0817638725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780817638726\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Birkhauser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.06d","brand":"Bruce Sagan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059861778687,"sku":"9780817638726","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2774a2e1-2066-4e18-ab59-8f28dca16e0d.jpg?v=1685060751","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mathematical-essays-in-honor-of-bruce-sagan-9780817638726","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
