This volume contains the lectures given by the three speakers, M Jimbo, P P Kulish and E K Sklyanin, who are outstanding experts in their field. It is essential reading to those working in the fields of Quantum Groups, and Integrable Systems.
"The volume under review can be a useful source of information for those entering the field as well as for mathematicians and physicists who are interested in applications of quantum groups to quantum integrable models." Tomasz Brzezi nski Mathematical Reviews
