Free University of Berlin (Ex-President of ISAAC).

New Book: Wavelet Transforms and Localization Operators (Review by S. Thangavelu, Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore)

A special interest group in pseudo-differential operators was formalized at the Fourth ISAAC Congress
held at York University in August 2003. Some thoughts at the early phase of the group may be gleaned
from the following document.
Special Interest Group in Pseudo-Differential Operators
The group is now named ISAAC Group in Pseudo-Differential Operators (IGPDO) and a website for
IGPDO was set up in Fall 2004.
