Gian-Carlo Rota on Analysis and Probability by Jean Dhombres

Gian-Carlo Rota on Analysis and Probability by Jean Dhombres

Rota's early work was in analysis, more specifically, in operator theory, differ ential equations, ergodic theory, and probability theory. Later, in the 1990's, Rota returned to some of the problems in analysis and probability theory which motivated his work in combinatorics.

"What makes this collection extraordinarily enjoyable to read are the commentaries that guide the reader between the gallery of results and are full of stories about Rota and of reflections about his mathematical style, about how he was led to areas and insights, about what he saw in them and what he thought they could do for other areas"

—MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS

"This mixture of reprinted papers and articles about Rota tell the story of his mathematical journey…. Apart from the opportunity to trace Rota’s mathematical development through his papers, the book offers eighteen articles on Rota’s work. These range from reminiscences and biographical details, to articles explaining the background to specific papers."

—THE MATHEMATICAL GAZETTE

"…Rota’s work contains many fresh ideas stimulating further research. If a PhD student asks for a book that might serve as a starting point to his/her research, the present volume is an excellent choice. Experts in analysis and probability can also find continual values in seeing Rota’s writings in a single volume."
