International Symposium on Symmetries in - Böcker

The international Symposium "Symmetries in Science X" was held at the Col- legium Mehrerau in Bregenz, Austria, during the period July 13-18, 1997. Some 40 invited scientists from 13 countries participated in the meeting. The Symposium was sponsored by the Technische Universitat Graz, the Land Vorarlberg, Austria, and the Landeshauptstadt Bregenz, Vorarlberg, Austria.
