Perspectives in Mathematical Physics

Description

This text contains highlights of several very successful conferences, where mathematicians and physicists had the opportunity to interact, and their collaboration created a substantial impact on the research of both disciplines. S.T. Yau organized a conference called Interface between Mathematics and Physics at the Academy Sinica in Taiwan. The following winter, R. Penner and E. Witten organized an American Mathematical Society Special Session entitled Topics in Geometry and Physics. These proceedings chronicle the combined efforts of these conferences.
