Title of the course: Sequences of polynomials
Instructor: Prof. Sten Kaijser
Institution: Uppsala University
Dates: 2-8 September 2019
Prerequisites: Only some mathematical maturity.
Level: Graduate, advanced undergraduate
Abstract: There are two theories about sequences of polynomials, an older theory about orthogonal polynomials and a newer theory called umbral calcculus. There are interesting connections given by the fact that some families of orthogonal polynomials can also be investigated in the context of umbral calcculus. I will talk about both theories.
Textbook or/and course webpage: There are good web pages on Wikipedia about both theories. Those pages are good enough for the course.
