Walter Gautschi, Volume 2. Selected works with commentaries. Edited by Claude Brezinski and Ahmed Sameh (Q1950252)

This is the second volume in a magnificent series of three, dedicated to the collected works of Walter Gautschi. As in the first volume [Zbl 1292.01005], several authors put the contributions of Gautschi to different subjects into historical perspective and, finally, the papers of Gautschi are reprinted. The description of the second volume follows below. \vskip0.3cm List of contributors \vskip0.3cm { Part I Commentaries} {\S 11} Orthogonal polynomials on the real line (by Gradimir V.
