Description: Alberto P. Calderón (1920-1998) was one of the twentieth century's leading mathematical analysts. Two years before his death, more than 300 mathematicians from around the world gathered in Chicago for a conference held in Calderón's honor, presenting the papers on harmonic analysis and partial differential equations from which this volume originated. Containing timely syntheses of several major fields of mathematics and original research articles contributed by some of the finest scholars in these areas, this book serves as an even more fitting tribute.
