Reihe: Developments in Mathematics

Partitions, q-Series, and Modular Forms contains a collection of research and survey papers that grew out of a Conference on Partitions, q-Series and Modular Forms at the University of Florida, Gainesville in March 2008. It will be of interest to researchers and graduate students that would like to learn of recent developments in the theory of q-series and modular and how it relates to number theory, combinatorics and special functions.

Über Autor(innen)

This book contains a unique collection of both research and survey papers written by an international group of some of the world’s experts on partitions, q-series, and modular forms, as outgrowths of a conference held at the University of Florida, Gainesville in March 2008. The success of this conference has led to annual year-long programs in Algebra, Number Theory, and Combinatorics (ANTC) at the university.

The broad coverage of the works in this volume will be of interest to researchers and graduate students who want to learn of recent developments in the theory of q-series and modular forms and how it relates to number theory, combinatorics, and special functions.
