Subject: OPSFA Patras Proceedings

The Fifth International Symposium on Orthogonal Polynomials, Special Functions
and their Applications (OPSFA, for short), was held in Patras, Greece, September
20 - 24, 1999 (see OP-SF NET 7.1, Topic #8). The Symposium was dedicated to
Professor Ted Chihara in honour of his many contributions to the subject of
Orthogonal Polynomials. The Proceedings have now appeared as a volume of Journal
of Computational and Applied Mathematics, Volume 133, Issue 1-2, 1 August 2001,
edited by P.D. Siafarikas. Here is the table of contents from:
