In August 1995, an international symposium on "Quasiconformal Mappings and Analysis" took place in Ann Arbor to honor Professor Frederick W. Gehring's 70th birthday and his upcoming retirement from the University of Michigan's Mathematics Department. The symposium aimed to feature broad survey talks on various topics related to Gehring's significant contributions to quasiconformal mappings, highlighting their connections to other areas of analysis. Notable speakers included Kari Astala, Albert Baernstein, Clifford Earle, Peter Jones, Irwin Kra, Olli Lehto, Gaven Martin, Dennis Sullivan, and Jussi Vaisala. The event received financial support from the National Science Foundation, along with additional grants from the University of Michigan and the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications. It was a resounding success, with speakers delivering excellent lectures. This volume was created to share those presentations with a broader audience. Additional mathematicians, some unable to attend the symposium, were invited to contribute similar articles. The result serves as a fitting tribute to Gehring's pivotal role in advancing the theory of quasiconformal mappings through his research, writings, lectures, and mentorship of graduate students. The volume begins with an overview of Gehring's mathematical career and research achievements.
