Thecontents of all lectures were collected in the volume,together witha transcription of a round table discussionheld during the Symposium. All papers are expository. Someparts include precise technical statements of recentresults, but the greater part consists of narrative textaddressed to a very broad mathematical public. CONTENTS: R.
