“This book revives and vastly expands the classical theory of resultants and discriminants. Most of the main new results of the book have been published earlier in more than a dozen joint papers of the authors. The book nicely complements these original papers with many examples illustrating both old and new results of the theory.”Mathematical Reviews“Collecting and extending the fundamental and highly original results of the authors, it presents a unique blend of classical mathematics and very recent developments in algebraic geometry, homological algebra, and combinatorial theory.”Zentralblatt Math

This volume presents the proceedings of the workshop on higher category theory and mathematical physics held at Northwestern University. Exciting new developments were presented with the aim of making them better known outside the community of experts. In particular, presentations in the style, 'Higher Categories for the Working Mathematician', were encouraged. The volume is the first to bring together developments in higher category theory with applications. This collection is a valuable introduction to this topic - one that holds great promise for future developments in mathematics.
