Abstract
We present a detailed analysis of the GKZ (Gel’fand, Kapranov and Zelevinski) hypergeometric systems in the context of mirror symmetry of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in toric varieties. As an application, we will derive a concise formula for the prepotential about large complex structure limits.
