The study of orthogonal polynomials of several variables goes back at least as far as Hermite. There have been only a few books on the subject since: Appell and de Feriet [1926] and Erdelyi et al. [1953]. Twenty-five years have gone by since Koornwinder's survey article [1975]. A number of individuals who need techniques from this topic have approached us and suggested (even asked) that we write a book accessible to a general mathematical audience. It is our goal to present the developments of very recent research to a readership trained in classical analysis. We include applied mathematicians and physicists, and even chemists and mathematical biologists, in this category.
