First sentence: Recall that a matrix A = (aj,k), 1 j, k n is called Hermitian if aj,k = ak,j, 1 j, k n.
Description: "This is the first modern treatment of orthogonal polynomials from the viewpoint of special functions. The coverage is encyclopedic, including classical topics such as Jacobi, Hermite, Laguerre, Hahn, Charlier, and Meixner polynomials, as well as those, e.g. Askey-Wilson and Al-Salam-Chihara, polynomial systems discovered over the last 50 years: multiple orthogonal polynomials are discussed for the first time in book form."--Jacket.
