The mathematics described in the book "A=B" lead to the awarding of a Steele Prize by the American Mathematical Society to Herbert Wilf and Doron Zeilberger. What the authors have done is to discover a way of using computer algebra and some mathematical ideas they and others had earlier to make it possible to find the sum of most of the hypergeometric and basic hypergeometric series which can be summed. This method also leads to recurrence relations when polynomial series cannot be summed. It does not work for all series, but most of the time it does work. This book and the ideas in it should be part of the working knowledge of anyone who uses special functions of hypergeometric or basic hypergeometric type.

Marko Petkovsek may be the first of a new generation of writers who bring life to a dry stle of instructional materials.

A non stop thriller of statistacal information.

A MUST READ.
