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","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45284155883671,"sku":"9781461286561","price":14690.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781461286561.webp?v=1769280344","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/mathematical-essays-in-honor-of-gian-carlo-rota-9781461286561","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
