This and the next volume of the OT series contain the proceedings of the Work shop on Operator Theory and its Applications, IWOTA 95, which was held at the University of Regensburg, Germany, July 31 to August 4, 1995. It was the eigth workshop of this kind. Following is a list of the seven previous workshops with reference to their proceedings: 1981 Operator Theory (Santa Monica, California, USA) 1983 Applications of Linear Operator Theory to Systems and Networks (Rehovot, Israel), OT 12 1985 Operator Theory and its Applications (Amsterdam, The Netherlands), OT 19 1987 Operator Theory and Functional Analysis (Mesa, Arizona, USA), OT 35 1989 Matrix and Operator Theory (Rotterdam, The Netherlands), OT 50 1991 Operator Theory and Complex Analysis (Sapporo, Japan), OT 59 1993 Operator Theory and Boundary Eigenvalue Problems (Vienna, Austria), OT 80 IWOTA 95 offered a rich programme on a wide range of latest developments in operator theory and its applications. The programme consisted of 6 invited plenary lectures, 54 invited special topic lectures and more than 100 invited session talks. About 180 participants from 25 countries attended the workshop, more than a third came from Eastern Europe. The conference covered different aspects of linear and nonlinear spectral prob lems, starting with problems for abstract operators up to spectral theory of ordi nary and partial differential operators, pseudodifferential operators, and integral operators. The workshop was also focussed on operator theory in spaces with indefinite metric, operator functions, interpolation and extension problems."

This volume brings readers up to date on different aspects of operator theory and its applications, including mathematical physics, hydrodynamics, magnetohydrodynamics, quantum mechanics, astrophysics as well as the theory of networks and systems. Of practical use to a wide readership in pure and applied mathematics, physics and engineering sciences.

Das Lehrbuch ist der zweite von zwei einfuhrenden Banden in die Analysis. Es zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass alle Themen der Analysis2 kompakt zusammengefasst sind und dennoch auf typische Schwierigkeiten eingegangen wird. Beginnend mit der Topologie metrischer Raume uber die Differentialrechnung von Funktionen mehrerer reeller Variablen bis zu gewohnlichen Differentialgleichungen und Fourierreihen, enthalt das Buch alle prufungsrelevanten Inhalte. Der Stoff kann anhand von Beispielen, Gegenbeispielen und Aufgaben nachvollzogen werden.

Das Lehrbuch ist der erste von zwei einfuhrenden Banden in die Analysis. Es zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass alle klassischen Themen der Analysis des ersten Semesters kompakt zusammengefasst sind und dennoch auf typische Anfangerprobleme eingegangen wird. Neben einer Einfuhrung in die formale Sprache und die wichtigsten Beweistechniken der Mathematik bietet der Band eingangige Erlauterungen zu abstrakten Begriffen. Alle prufungsrelevanten Inhalte sind abgedeckt und konnen anhand von Beispielen, Gegenbeispielen und Aufgaben nachvollzogen werden."
