Theory And Applications Of Hypergeometric Series

Abstract

Techniques based on hypergeometric series lie at the heart of an exciting and rapidly developing class of mathematical methods, with applications to many areas of science and engineering, such as computer science, statistics, physics, chemistry and biology. In the past decades Australia has been at the forefront of important developments in the field, and this proposal serves to further strengthen the country's leading reputation. Many of the modern methods in the theory require expertise in mathematics as well as a high level of programming skills. This combination provides a unique training ground for higher degree students aiming at careers in financial mathematics, weather/climate foreca..
