Alberto P. Calderón (1920-1998) was one of this century's leading
mathematical analysts. His contributions, characterized by great
originality and depth, have changed the way researchers approach and
think about everything from harmonic analysis to partial differential
equations and from signal processing to tomography. In addition, he
helped define the Chicago school of analysis, which remains influential
to this day.
In 1996, more than 300 mathematicians from around the world gathered in
Chicago for a conference on harmonic analysis and partial differential
equations held in Calderón's honor. This volume originated in papers
given there and presents timely syntheses of several major fields of
mathematics as well as original research articles contributed by some of
the finest scholars working in these areas. An important addition to the
literature, this book is essential reading for researchers in these and
other related fields.
