Abstract

An algebraic setting for the Roman-Rota umbral calculus is introduced. It is shown how many of the umbral calculus results follow simply by introducing a comultiplication map and requiring it to be an algebra map. The same approach is used to construct a q-umbral calculus. Our umbral calculus yields some of Andrews recent results on Eulerian families of polynomials as corollaries. The homogeneous Eulerian families are studied. Operator and functional expansions are also included.
