$q$-Series from a Contemporary Perspective
Edited by: Mourad E. H. Ismail, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL, and
Dennis W. Stanton, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN

Description
This volume presents the proceedings of the Joint Summer Research Conference
on $q$-series, combinatorics, and computer algebra held at Mount Holyoke
College (South Hadley, MA). All of the papers were contributed by
participants and offer original research on topics of current interest.
Articles in the book reflect the diversity of areas that overlap with
$q$-series, as well as the usefulness of $q$-series across the mathematical
sciences. The conference was held in honor of Richard Askey on the occasion
of his 65th birthday and the proceedings contain an article about Askey's
contributions to special functions.
