The three main themes of this book--probability theory, differential geometry, and the theory of integrable systems--reflect the broad range of mathematical interests of Henry McKean, to whom it is dedicated. Written by experts in probability, geometry, integrable systems, turbulence, and percolation, the 17 papers included here demonstrate a variety of techniques that have been developed to solve various mathematical problems in these areas. The topics are often combined in an unusual fashion to give solutions outside of the standard methods. A few specific topics explored are stochastic evolution of inviscid Burger fluid, singular solutions for geodesic flows of Vlasov moments, and reality problems in soliton theory. Pinsky teaches mathematics at Northwestern University; Birnir, at the University of California-Santa Barbara. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
