In this volume, the authors show that a set of local admissible fields generates a vertex algebra. For an affine Lie algebra $\tilde{\frak g}$, they construct the corresponding level $k$ vertex operator algebra and show that level $k$ highest weight $\tilde{\frak g}$-modules are modules for this vertex operator algebra. They determine the set of annihilating fields of level $k$ standard modules and study the corresponding loop $\tilde{\frak g}$-module--the set of relations that defines standard modules. In the case when $\tilde{\frak g}$ is of type $A{(1)} 1$, they construct bases of standard modules parameterized by colored partitions, and as a consequence, obtain a series of Rogers-Ramanujan type combinatorial identities.

In the fall of 1990, I taught Math 581 at New Mexico State University for the first time. This course on field theory is the first semester of the year-long graduate algebra course here at NMSU. In the back of my mind, I thought it would be nice someday to write a book on field theory, one of my favorite mathematical subjects, and I wrote a crude form of lecture notes that semester. Those notes sat undisturbed for three years until late in 1993 when I finally made the decision to turn the notes into a book. The notes were greatly expanded and rewritten, and they were in a form sufficient to be used as the text for Math 581 when I taught it again in the fall of 1994. Part of my desire to write a textbook was due to the nonstandard format of our graduate algebra sequence. The first semester of our sequence is field theory. Our graduate students generally pick up group and ring theory in a senior-level course prior to taking field theory. Since we start with field theory, we would have to jump into the middle of most graduate algebra textbooks. This can make reading the text difficult by not knowing what the author did before the field theory chapters. Therefore, a book devoted to field theory is desirable for us as a text. While there are a number of field theory books around, most of these were less complete than I wanted.

First Semester Calculus for Students of Mathematics and Related Disciplines equips students with a working knowledge of the fundamental principles of calculus. The book provides an engaging and accessible entry point into a critical field of study. It prepares students for more advanced courses in calculus and also helps them understand how to apply basic principles of calculus to solve problems within a wide range of disciplines, including business, biology, engineering, science, liberal arts, and mathematics. The text employs rigorous treatment of early calculus topics and detailed explanations to facilitate greater understanding and connection with the material. Over the course of five chapters, students learn about symbolic logic, continuity and limits, derivatives, mathematical and real-world applications of derivatives, and antiderivatives and their applications. Throughout, students are provided with rich guidance and copious opportunities to deepen their personal understanding of the subject matter. Highly readable and applicable, First Semester Calculus for Students of Mathematics and Related Disciplines is an ideal resource for a variety of courses that apply concepts of calculus to solve mathematical and real-world problems.
