About The Book:
Quasiconformal Mappings and Analysis is a volume inspired by an international symposium held in August 1995 in Ann Arbor to celebrate Professor Frederick W. Gehring’s 70th birthday and his imminent retirement from the University of Michigan’s Mathematics Department. The symposium focused on the contributions Gehring made to the field of quasiconformal mappings, showcasing their connections to other parts of mathematical analysis.

The volume features broad survey talks from leading mathematicians such as Kari Astala, Albert Baernstein, Clifford Earle, Peter Jones, Irwin Kra, Olli Lehto, Gaven Martin, Dennis Sullivan, and Jussi Vaisala. Their presentations delve deeply into various topics related to Gehring’s research. The book also includes contributions from additional mathematicians who were invited to provide similar expositions, further broadening the scope of the symposium’s content.

A fitting tribute to Fred Gehring’s influential work, this book highlights his vital role in advancing the theory of quasiconformal mappings, both through his own research and his mentorship of graduate students. It begins with a detailed account of Gehring's mathematical career and an overview of his significant research achievements.
