Over a career that spanned 60 years, Ronald L. Graham (known to all as Ron) made significant contributions to the fields of discrete mathematics, number theory, Ramsey theory, computational geometry, juggling and magical mathematics, and many more. Ron also was a mentor to generations of mathematicians, he gave countless talks and helped bring mathematics to a wider audience, and he held signifi cant leadership roles in the mathematical community.

This volume is dedicated to the life and memory of Ron Graham, and includes 20-articles by leading scientists across a broad range of subjects that refl ect some of the many areas in which Ron worked.

The series is aimed specifically at publishing peer reviewed reviews and contributions presented at workshops and conferences. Each volume is associated with a particular conference, symposium or workshop. These events cover various topics within pure and applied mathematics and provide up-to-date coverage of new developments, methods and applications.
