This volume presents the proceedings of the conference on "Trends in Mathematical Physics" held at the University of Tennessee. The conference drew international experts from mathematical and computational physics. The following topics were addressed: superstrings and quantum gravity, pattern formation, and crystallographic topology. The cutting-edge research reflected in the extensive surveys in the book are written for a diverse audience.

This refereed collection of research papers and survey articles reflects the interplay of finite-dimensional algebras with other areas (algebraic geometry, homological algebra, and the theory of quantum groups). Current trends are presented from the discussions at the AMS-IMS-SIAM Joint Summer Research Conference at the University of Washington (Seattle). The volume features several excellent expository articles which will introduce the beginning researcher to cutting-edge topics in representation theory. The book will also provide inspiration to researchers in related areas

These notes arose from a series of lectures given by the author at a CBMS Regional Conference held at Madison, Wisconsin, in August 1977. The conference was supported by the National Science Foundation. The main purpose of the notes was to show how $l$-adic cohomology of algebraic varieties over fields of characteristic $p>1$ can be used to get information on the representations of finite Chevalley groups

Physics at the beginning of the twenty-first century has reached new levels of accomplishment and impact in a society and nation that are changing rapidly. Accomplishments have led us into the information age and fueled broad technological and economic development. The pace of discovery is quickening and stronger links with other fields such as the biological sciences are being developed. The intellectual reach has never been greater, and the questions being asked are more ambitious than ever before. "Physics in a New Era" is the final report of the NRC’s six-volume decadal physics surve
