Product Description
This book is a collection of selected papers written by students and active participants of the A. A. Kirillov seminar on representation theory held at Moscow University. The papers deal with various aspects of representation theory for Lie algebras and Lie groups, and its relationship to algebraic combinatorics, the theory of quantum groups and geometry.

This volume reflects current research interests of the leading representatives of the Russian school of representation theory. Readers will find both a variety of new results (for such quickly developing fields as infinite dimensional algebras and quantum groups) and a new look at classical aspects of the theory. Among the contributions, S. Kerov's paper---the first survey of various topics in representation theory of the infinite symmetric groups, classical orthogonal polynomials, Markov's moment problem, random measures, and operator theory, unified around the concept of interlacing measures---describes the unexpected relationships between distant domains of mathematics, and an expository paper by Y. Neretin presents a new geometric approach to boundaries and compactifications of reductive groups and symmetric spaces. ... Read more

From the author: The Committee on Undergraduate Education of the Wilson Ornithological Society conducted a survey of ornithology courts in North America as a service for teachers of ornithology. Our survey of 26 responses uncovered 26 creative approaches to teaching ornithology. Nonetheless, a number of commonalities exist. Courses at small colleges and large universities include both lecture and laboratory components and usually extend into the spring. Most courses emphasize anatomy and physiology, nesting, evolution of birds, ecology, and flight, with other topics receiving few or no lectures. Almost 60% of the courses include student dissection or faculty demonstration. Some courses use preserved birds, others use birds that died accidentally, and one uses roasted chickens that are eaten as part of the skeleto-muscular dissection. Laboratory sessions emphasize taxonomy and identification of local and, often, world birds. Most schools have at least a small collection of specimens available for student use. Courses usually include an extensive project and written work. We hope the results of the survey will stimulate discussion among teachers of ornithology as we seek to develop new ideas for our courses.

Product Description
Alexander Wilson, expatriate Scotsman, poet, & reformer, has been called ''the Father of American Ornithology.'' This collection of his letters, many of them new & many complete for the first time, captures a splendid & stimulating time in American history. Wilson was a confidant of William Bartram, a correspondent of Thomas Jefferson, a sensitive personality who set out as he said to make ''a collection of all our finest birds.'' In pursuit of this goal he traveled through much of the eastern part of the U.S., often on foot. His letters well document the joy he felt at each new discovery as well as the terrible physical hardships he endured. Though later overshadowed by J.J. Audubon, Wilson deserves much credit for being one of the pioneers in American ornithology. Includes an intro. by Clark Hunter, ed. of the letters. ... Read more
