      Alex Izzo, Dept. of Mathematics and Statistics, BGSU.
      "Algebras of Holomorphic and Nonholomorphic Functions"
      Abstract: The notions of Banach algebra, maximal ideal space,
        and Gelfand transform will be discussed.  These will be used
        to present a theorem that unifies and generalizes earlier
        results about algebras generated by holomorphic and harmonic
        functions.
