Topic #12 --------------- OP-SF NET --------------- September 12, 1996 ~~~~~~~~~ From: Wolfram Koepf Subject: Special issue of J. Symbolic Computation The following are the contents of a special issue of the Journal of Symbolic Computation which contains the Proceedings of a workshop on "Symbolic Computation in Combinatorics" held during September 21-24, 1993, at Cornell University. Some of the articles are on hypergeometric identities, and might be of interest to the members of our Activity Group.
