Rajendra Bhatia has written several expository articles for renowned journals like The American Mathematical Monthly; Mathematical Intelligencer and Resonance. These elementary articles have often spurred research papers by other authors. On the other hand, some of his research articles present major ideas in such a simple way that they can be profitably read by beginners. This volume contains a selection of such articles compiled by the editors. The articles, on a variety of topics in analysis and linear algebra, can be read as introductions to interesting ideas. They can also be used as a basis for projects and masters dissertations, and for workshops and refresher courses for college teachers.

This book presents a collection of invited articles by distinguished Mathematicians on the occasion of the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations of the Indian Statistical Institute, during the year 2007. These articles provide a current perspective of different areas of research, emphasizing the major challenging issues. Given the very significant record of the Institute in research in the areas of Statistics, Probability and Mathematics, distinguished authors have very admirably responded to the invitation. Some of the articles are written keeping students and potential new entrants to an area of mathematics in mind. This volume is thus very unique and gives a perspective of several important aspects of mathematics.

This book presents a collection of invited articles by distinguished probabilists and statisticians on the occasion of the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations of the Indian Statistical Institute a notable institute with significant achievement in research areas of statistics, probability and mathematics in 2007.

With a wide coverage of topics in probability and statistics, the articles provide a current perspective of different areas of research, emphasizing the major challenging issues. The book also proves its reference and utility value for practitioners as the articles in Statistics contain applications of the methodology that will be of use to practitioners. To professional statisticians and mathematicians, this is a unique volume for its illuminating perspectives on several important aspects of probability and statistics.
