Special Issue: “q-Series and Related Topics in Special Functions and Analytic Number Theory”—Foreword

Abstract

It is indeed a fairly common practice for scientific research journals and scientific research periodicals to publish special issues as well as conference proceedings. Quite frequently, these special issues are devoted exclusively to specific topics and/or are dedicated respectfully to commemorate the celebrated works of renowned research scientists. The following Special Issue: “q-Series and Related Topics in Special Functions and Analytic Number Theory” (see [1–8] below) is an outcome of the ongoing importance and popularity of such topics as Basic (or q-) Series and Basic (or q-) Polynomials.

On Transcendental Numbers

“…In Section 3, we study the exponential function axioms related to the Yang-Baxter equation. Section 4 deals with proofs and approximations of the number π (see also [6,7]). In our last section we state a new inequality, and we argue that computer science plays an important role in the development of the modern mathematics.…”
