- From the Editors' Introduction:
It was our impression that the relationship between both fields
[physics and geometry] has been extremely lively and fruitful in latter years,
and we wanted to stimulate the physicists and mathematicians of our country
to participate in, and share some of the current excitement about the most
dynamic interactions between thse two fields.
