Dear colleagues:
the fifth academic year I am training physicist students of the
Novosibirsk University in generalized hypergeometric functions in one and two
variables. This academic year I am finishing preparation of my exercise book
"Computer-Oriented Algorithms for Special Functions of Mathematical Physics
or
Rewriting Rules for Generalized Hypergeometric Functions"
(in Russian; about 100 pages without solutions; typed by ChiWriter 3.14).
I would like to be invited for a term or two during the next academic year
(1993-94) for training your under- and post-graduates in this subject and
simultaneous preparation of a revised and enlarged version of this
educational book.
I am ready to answer your questions and to exchange my know how
for somebody's invitation.
Ernst Davidovich Krupnikov
