In August 1995 an international symposium on "Quasiconformal
Mappings and Analysis" was held in Ann Arbor on the occasion of
Professor Fred- erick W. Gehring's 70th birthday and his impending
retirement from the Mathematics Department at the University of
Michigan. The concept of the symposium was to feature broad survey
talks on a wide array of topics related to Gehring's basic research
contributions in the field of quasicon- formal mappings,
emphasizing their relations to other parts of analysis. Principal
speakers were Kari Astala, Albert Baernstein, Clifford Earle, Pe-
ter Jones, Irwin Kra, OUi Lehto, Gaven Martin, Dennis Sullivan, and
Jussi Vaisala. Financial support was provided by the National
Science Founda- tion, with additional grants from the University of
Michigan and from the Institute for Mathematics and its
Applications. The symposium was a great success. The speakers rose
to the occasion and presented excellent survey lectures. The
present volume was conceived as a means for disseminating those
expositions to a wider audience. Ad- ditional mathematicians, some
of whom had not been able to attend the symposium, were invited to
contribute similar articles. The result is a fit- ting tribute to
Fred Gehring's pre-eminent role in developing the theory of
quasiconformal mappings, through his own research and writings and
lec- tures, and through his supervision of graduate students. The
volume begins with descriptions of Gehring's mathematical career
and an overview of his research achievements.
