This volume contains the proceedings of the International Conference on Recent Advances in PDEs and Applications, in honor of Hugo Beirao da Veiga's 70th birthday, held from February 17?21, 2014, in Levico Terme, Italy.
The conference brought together leading experts and researchers in nonlinear partial differential equations to promote research and to stimulate interactions among the participants. The workshop program testified to the wide-ranging influence of Hugo Beirao da Veiga on the field of partial differential equations, in particular those related to fluid dynamics.
In his own work, da Veiga has been a seminal influence in many important areas: Navier-Stokes equations, Stokes systems, non-Newtonian fluids, Euler equations, regularity of solutions, perturbation theory, vorticity phenomena, and nonlinear potential theory, as well as various degenerate or singular models in mathematical physics. This same breadth is reflected in the mathematical papers included in this volume.

This volume contains a collection of survey and research articles from the special program and international conference on Dynamics and Numbers held at the Max-Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, Germany in 2014.
The papers reflect the great diversity and depth of the interaction between number theory and dynamical systems and geometry in particular. Topics covered in this volume include symbolic dynamics, Bratelli diagrams, geometry of laminations, entropy, Nielsen theory, recurrence, topology of the moduli space of interval maps, and specification properties.

Mathematical analysis is often referred to as generalized calculus. But it is much more than that. This book has been written in the belief that emphasizing the inherent nature of a mathematical discipline helps students to understand it better. With this in mind, and focusing on the essence of analysis, the text is divided into two parts based on the way they are related to calculus: completion and abstraction. The first part describes those aspects of analysis which complete a corresponding area of calculus theoretically, while the second part concentrates on the way analysis generalizes some aspects of calculus to a more general framework. Presenting the contents in this way has an important advantage: students first learn the most important aspects of analysis on the classical space R

This volume contains the proceedings of the AMS Special Session Operator Algebras and Their Applications: A Tribute to Richard V. Kadison, held from January 10?11, 2015, in San Antonio, Texas.
Richard V. Kadison has been a towering figure in the study of operator algebras for more than 65 years. His research and leadership in the field have been fundamental in the development of the subject, and his influence continues to be felt though his work and the work of his many students, collaborators, and mentees.
Among the topics addressed in this volume are the Kadison-Kaplanksy conjecture, classification of C?-algebras, connections between operator spaces and parabolic induction, spectral flow, C? - See more at: http://bookstore.ams.org/conm-671/#sthash.rHJQDGns.dpuf

Richard Stanley's work in combinatorics revolutionized and reshaped the subject. His lectures, papers, and books inspired a generation of researchers. In this volume, these researchers explain how Stanley's vision and insights influenced and guided their own perspectives on the subject. As a valuable bonus, this book contains a collection of Stanley's short comments on each of his papers.
This book may serve as an introduction to several different threads of ongoing research in combinatorics as well as giving historical perspective.
