In 1992, many of the world's most distinquished scientists gathered to honor Professor and Nobel Laureate, Chen Ning Yang on the occasion of his seventieth birthday. This volume documents the scientific contributions that resulted from that conference. Additionally, it has several biographical and historical contributions that discuss the impact C.N. Yang has made on the research and lives of his students, colleagues, and friends.

The conference on which these proceedings are based was held at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. It was organized in response to Andrew Wiles' conjecture that every elliptic curve over Q is modular. The final difficulties in the proof of the conjectural upper bound for the order of the Selmer group attached to the symmetric square of a modular form, have since been overcome by Wiles with the assistance of R. Taylor. The proof that every semi-stable elliptic curve over Q is modular is not only significant in the study of elliptic curves, but also due to the earlier work of Frey, Ribet, and others, completes a proof of Fermat's last theorem.

The Surveys in Differential Geometry are supplements to the Journal of Differential Geometry, which are published by International Press. They include significant invited papers combining original research and overviews of the most current research in specific areas of interest to the growing Journal of Differential Geometry community. The survey volumes serve as continuing references, inspirations for new research, and introductions to the variety of topics of interest to differential geometers. These supplements are published annually since 1999. 
In 1993, the Journal of Differential Geometry sponsored the second conference on Differential Geometry. While the first conference was held in 1990, there is still significant interest in the proceedings (published in 1991) of Surveys in Differential Geometry 1991, and there continues to be developments in the subject. For this reason, we intend to continue sponsoring this conference and the accompanying publication once every three years. The conference was held at Harvard University, coinciding with the celebration of Raoul Bott's 70th birthday. We are very grateful to all the speakers, who attracted a large audience, and to the three hundred participants, whose participation made this conference a big success. This volume (Vol.2) of Surveys in Differential Geometry is based on the lectures given during the 2nd conference of Journal of Differential Geometry.

Surveys in Differential Geometry, Vol. 2: Proceedings of the conference on geometry and topology held at Harvard University, April 23-25, 1993

Over 1000 mathematicians participated in the Paris International Conference on Mathematical Physics and its satellite conference on topology, strings and integrable models. This volume contains some of the highlights, including topics such as conformable field theory and general relativity.

11th International Congress of Mathematical Physics

Daniel Iagolnitzer

For students with three semesters of calculus, this book is self-contained. In particular, Section 1.1 contains a complete treatment of the relevant types of ordinary differential equations. No previous course in ordinary differential equations or linear algebra is necessary. There are approximately 280 examples worked out in detail, and 600 exercises ranging from routine to challenging. Answers to selected problems appear in the back of the book. Rigorous proofs of nearly all results used are given after ample physical motivation. The book documents extensive applications, including: heat conduction, wave propagation, vibrations of strings, square drums, round drums, spheres and manifolds, traffic flow shocks, evolution of population densities, fluid flow, electrostatics, minimal surfaces, gravitation, quantum mechanics (including the determination of the bound states of the hydrogen atom). Convenient summaries appear at the end of each section. Theorems and definitions are clearly off-set in boxes. The book contains 97 figures, illustrations and tables (graphs of mathematical functions of one or several variables were computer generated.).

The Surveys in Differential Geometry are supplements to the Journal of Differential Geometry, which are published by International Press. They include significant invited papers combining original research and overviews of the most current research in specific areas of interest to the growing Journal of Differential Geometry community. The survey volumes serve as continuing references, inspirations for new research, and introductions to the variety of topics of interest to differential geometers. These supplements are published annually since 1999. The world-renowned Journal of Differential Geometry sponsors a triannual conference at Harvard University which brings together mathematicians from all over the world. The third conference celebrated the 30th anniversary of the journal, and the 70th birthday of its founding editor, C. C. Hsiung. This volume (Vol.3) of Surveys in Differential Geometry is based on the lectures given during the 3rd conference of Journal of Differential Geometry.

The editors of the highly esteemed Journal of Differential Geometry (published by International Press) each year present a new volume of Surveys in Differential Geometry, a collection of original contributions upon a specially chosen topic pertaining to differential geometry and related topics. The series presents an overview of recent trends, while making predictions and suggestions for future research. Each invited contributor is a prominent specialist in the field of algebraic geometry, mathematical physics, or related areas. Contributors to Surveys tend to transcend classical frameworks within their field. Once every three years, Lehigh University and Harvard University, in conjunction with the editors of the JDG, sponsor a conference whose purpose is to survey the general field of differential geometry and related subjects. Speakers at the conference are likewise selected for their prominence in a given field and for their innovative contributions to it. Hence every third volume of Surveys is a publication of those presented talks. The Surveys in Differential Geometry series is a beneficial collection for experts and non-experts alike, and in particular, for those independent of the mainstream of activity in the field of geometry.
