Using numerous illustrations, this book covers many areas of interest to the recreational angler. These include handling the catch so that it arrives home in good condition, preparing and processing it, freezing, salting, smoking and pickling it. The book also covers the nutritional benefits and safety aspects of eating fish.

These notes are based on lectures given in the semmar on "Coding Theory and Algebraic Geometry" held at Schloss Mickeln, Diisseldorf, November 16-21, 1987. In 1982 Tsfasman, Vladut and Zink, using algebraic geometry and ideas of Goppa, constructed a seqeunce of codes that exceed the Gilbert-Varshamov bound. The result was considered sensational. Furthermore, it was surprising to see these unrelated areas of mathematics collaborating. The aim of this course is to give an introduction to coding theory and to sketch the ideas of algebraic geometry that led to the new result. Finally, a number of applications of these methods of algebraic geometry to coding theory are given. Since this is a new area, there are presently no references where one can find a more extensive treatment of all the material. However, both for algebraic geometry and for coding theory excellent textbooks are available. The combination ofthe two subjects can only be found in a number ofsurvey papers. A book by C. Moreno with a complete treatment of this area is in preparation. We hope that these notes will stimulate further research and collaboration of algebraic geometers and coding theorists.

Quantum computing uses the phenomena of quantum mechanics to perform it’s calculations. The computational speed would be orders of magnitude greater than present day digital computers that we have become used to using whether it be a large scale mainframe or a desktop, laptop, tablet or phone. The digital computer uses bits which are a binary form of utilizing information in one of two states – either a 1 or a 0. The quantum computer uses quantum bits or qbits which can utilize data in a variety of states due to the quantum mechanical principles of superposition and entanglement. These principles allow multiple states to exist at the same time in the qbit which is what allows the qbit to operate at a drastically higher efficiency than the digital computer. Currently the field of quantum computing is in the beginning stages but proof of concept has already taken place using a very small number of qbits. Given that this field will be a revolution in computing, the technological implications are nothing short of phenomenal. This book discusses the fundamentals and applications of quantum computing and is designed to be a reference and provide an overview of the topic and give the reader a structured knowledge to familiarize yourself with the topic at the most affordable price possible. The accuracy and knowledge is of an international viewpoint as the edited articles represent the inputs of many knowledgeable individuals and some of the most current knowledge on the topic, based on the date of publication.

The Operator Theory conferences, organized by the Department of Mathematics of INCREST and the Department of Mathematics of the University of Timi~oara, are conceived as a means to promote cooperation and exchange of information between specialists in all areas of operator theory. This book comprises carefully selected papers on theory of linear operators and related fields. Original results of new research in fast developing areas are included. Several contributed papers focus on the action of linear operators in various function spaces. Recent advances in spectral theory and related topics, operators in indefinite metric spaces, dual algebras and the invariant subspace problem, operator algebras and group representations as well as applications to mathematical physics are presented. The research contacts of the Department of :viathematics of INCREST with the National Committee for Science and Technology of Romania provided means for developing the research activity in mathematics; they represent the generous framework of these meetings too. It is our pleasure to acknowledge the financial support of UNESCO which also contributed to the success of this meeting. We are indebted to Professor Israel Gohberg for including these Proceedings in the OT Series and for valuable advice in the editing process. Birkhauser Verlag was very cooperative in publishing this volume. Camelia Minculescu, Iren Nemethi and Rodica Stoenescu dealt with the difficult task of typing the whole manuscript using a Rank Xerox 860 word processor; we thank them for this exellent job.

The author, a mathematician whose horizons have never been limited to mathematics, recalls a career that led him to numerous continents: to Italy and Germany first of all; then to India where he lived and taught at a critical time in the history of that country, and where he met with Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru; to Russia when Stalinism seemed to be waning only to then rise up again with increased ferocity; to Princeton, the modern "clearing house" of mathematical ideas, called at times a mathematician's paradise; to a prison in Finland where, taken for a Soviet spy, he narrowly escaped execution; to France, where he was convicted for dodging his military obligations (the draft) and where, in the prison of Rouen, he had time to write one of his best mathematical works; to England, where he lived through the Battle of London before returning to France and then to the United States; and finally to Brasil, scene of the last of his vicissitudes, before returning permanently to the United States. Through these often picturesque episodes, the destiny of a mathematician is unfolded, of which perhaps the most salient event was his participation in the foundation of the Bourbaki Group, an auteur collectif , of a treatise that has long since become a classic.  Translated from the French by Jennifer Gage, with assistance of the author.

The Apprenticeship of a Mathematician

Morris Lapidus wanted "happiness and delight" to radiate from his buildings - and that they did -- not only sometimes, but often enough indeed. And here they blossom anew today, from a fresh perspective of over thirty, forty and fifty years.
