Strings and Symmetries: Proceedings of the G�rsey Memorial Conference I, Held at Istanbul, Turkey, 6-10 June 1994 in Bloomington, MN

The topics in this volume constitute a fitting tribute by distinguished physicists and mathematicians. They cover strings, conformal field theories,
W
and Virasoro algebras, topological field theory, quantum groups, vertex and Hopf algebras, and non-commutative geometry. The relatively long contributions are pedagogical in style and address students as well as scientists.
