Information About

This volume comprises a collection of lectures by Professor Jackiw that have appeared previously in various publcations, some of which are not easily accessible. Professor Jackiw's typically well-received presentations of his work on theoretical and mathematical physics are distinguished by their clarity. insight and attention to detail. Readers will find a useful selection of topics, drawn from field theory. especially gauge field theory, in which a variety of interesting phenomena from several branches of physics are described.
