Lie Groups and Ergodic Theory

A publication of Tata Institute of Fundamental Research,Vol. 1
This volume presents the proceedings from an international
colloquium on Lie groups and ergodic theory held at the Tata Institute of Fundamental
Research (TIFR) in Mumbai, India. Designated a Golden Jubilee event at the Institute,
this was one of the quadrennial colloquia of the School of Mathematics.
There were 24 talks given by partici-pants in Lie groups, ergodic theory and related fields.

Lectures in Memory of Lars Ahlfors

Israel Mathematical Conference Proceedings, Vol. 14
Written from a modern perspective in contemporary language, this
volume bridges the gap between Ahlfors's achievements and today's
developments. It offers a good introduction for the researcher and
for others who would like to learn more about this area of mathematics.
Distributed worldwide by the AMS.

Algebra and Its Applications

Contemporary Mathematics,
Among all areas of mathematics, algebra is one of the best suited to
find applications within the frame of our booming technological society.
The thirty-eight articles in this volume encompass the proceedings of
the International Conference on Algebra and Its Applications
(Athens, OH, 1999), which explored the applications and interplay
among the disciplines of ring theory, linear algebra, and coding theory.
The presentations collected here reflect the dialogue between
mathematicians involved in theoretical aspects of algebra and
mathematicians involved in solving problems where state-of-the-art
research tools may be used and applied.
