Opis

This volume contains five review articles, two in the Algebra part and three in the Geometry part, surveying the fields of cate- gories and class field theory, in the Algebra part, and of Finsler spaces, structures on differentiable manifolds, and packing, cover- ing, etc., in the Geometry part.
