Strings and Symmetries : Proceedings of the Gursey Memorial Conference I, Held at Istanbul, Turkey, 6-10 June 1994

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.
