This volume is a collection of manscripts mainly originating from talks and lectures given at the Workshop on Recent Trends in Complex Methods for Par­ tial Differential Equations held from July 6 to 10, 1998 at the Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Turkey, sponsored by The Scientific and Tech­ nical Research Council of Turkey and the Middle East Technical University. This workshop is a continuation oftwo workshops from 1988 and 1993 at the In­ ternational Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy entitled Functional analytic Methods in Complex Analysis and Applications to Partial Differential Equations. Since classical complex analysis of one and several variables has a long tra­ dition it is of high level. But most of its basic problems are solved nowadays so that within the last few decades it has lost more and more attention. The area of complex and functional analytic methods in partial differential equations, however, is still a growing and flourishing field, in particular as these methods are not only applied. Whithin the framework of holomorphic functions but are also combined with properties of generalized analytic functions. This can be seen by the many books which recently were published in this field and also by the proceedings in this ISAAC series and the ISAAC congresses and workshops.

These proceedings concentrate on recent results in the following fields of complex analysis: complex methods for solving boundary value problems with piecewise smooth boundary data, complex methods for linear and nonlinear differential equations and systems of second order, and applications of scales of Banach spaces to initial value problems.Some problems in higher dimensions (such as the unification of global and local existence theorems for holomorphic functions and an elementary approach to Clifford analysis) are also discussed.Particular emphasis is placed on Symbolic Computation in Complex Analysis and on the new approaches to teach mathematical analysis based on interactions between complex analysis and partial differential equations.
