This collection of four short courses looks at group representations, graph spectra, statistical optimality, and symbolic dynamics, highlighting their common roots in linear algebra. It leads students from the very beginnings in linear algebra to high-level applications: representations of finite groups, leading to probability models and harmonic analysis, eigenvalues of growing graphs from quantum probability techniques, statistical optimalit...

Edited by the authors of two of the most important books on Allen to date, A Companion to Woody Allen presents a collection of twenty-six original essays on Allen's films.
