Inzell Lectures on Orthogonal Polynomials

Based on the success of Fourier analysis and Hilbert space theory, orthogonal expansions undoubtedly count as fundamental concepts of mathematical analysis. Along with the need for highly involved functions systems having special properties and analysis on more complicated domains, harmonic analysis has steadily increased its importance in modern mathematical analysis. Deep connections between harmonic analysis and the theory of special functions have been discovered comparatively late, but since then have been exploited in many directions. The Inzell Lectures focus on the interrelation between orthogonal polynomials and harmonic analysis.
