The idea of preparing this volume was inspired by the invited lectures atthe "International Conference on Orthogonal Polynomials and q-Series",held at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, on May 10–12,2015. The conference was dedicated to Professor Mourad Ismail on his70th birthday. It was strongly felt that it would be useful and timelyto prepare an edited book highlighting important directions of researchon orthogonal polynomials, q-series, and related topics in approximationtheory, number theory, combinatorics, applied and computational harmonicanalysis. Ms. Rochelle Kronzek, Executive Editor of World Scientific, whoattended the conference, encouraged the idea, which ultimately led to apublishing agreement.
This volume contains 27 chapters exploring various topics on the frontierof research on orthogonal polynomials, q-series, and related topics men-tioned above. We strived for a book that would inspire young researchersand provide pleasant readings for the other generations of researchers inthese fields.
