Description
Book SynopsisPresents 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.
