520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. This volume expands on a set of lectures held at the Courant Institute on Riemann-Hilbert problems, orthogonal polynomials, and random matrix theory. The goal of the course was to prove universality for a variety of statistical quantities arising in the theory of random matrix models. The central question was the following: Why do very general ensembles of random n×n matrices exhibit universal behavior as n→∞? The main ingredient in the proof is the steepest descent method for oscillatory Riemann-Hilbert problems. --- summary provided by publisher
