Commutative rings, integer-valued polynomials and polynomial functions

--> Graz, December 16-18, 2012

The mini-course on Commutative rings, integer-valued polynomials and polynomial functions will take place at the mathematics department of the Graz University of Technology, Steyrergasse 30, in December 16-18, 2012.

Lectures and topics

  • Jean-Luc CHABERT
    Title: Integer-valued polynomials: combinatorial, arithmetical, algebraic, topological and dynamical aspects.
