Algebra Arithmetic and Geometry With Applications : Papers from Shreeram S. Abhyankar's 70th Birthday Conference

 This volume is the proceedings of the Conference on Algebra and Algebraic Geometry with Applications which was held July 19 - 26, 2000, at Purdue University to honor Professor Shreeram S. Abhyankar on the occasion of his seventieth birthday. Eighty-five of Professor Abhyankar's students, collaborators, and colleagues were invited participants. Sixty participants presented papers related to Professor Abhyankar's broad areas of mathematical interest. There were sessions on algebraic geometry, singularities, group theory, Galois theory, combinatorics, Drinfield modules, affine geometry, and the Jacobian problem. This volume offers an outstanding collection of papers by authors who are among the experts in their areas.
