ZBIGNIEW OZIEWICZ University of Wroclaw, Poland December 1992 The First Max Born Symposium in Theoretical and Mathematical Phy- sics, organized by the University of Wrodaw, was held in September 1991 with the intent that it would become an annual event. It is the outgrowth of the annual Seminars organized jointly since 1972 with the University of Leipzig. The name of the Symposia was proposed by Professor Jan Lopu- szanski. Max Born, an outstanding German theoretical physicist, was born in 1883 in Breslau (the German name of Wrodaw) and educated here. The Second Max Born Symposium was held...

This volume is dedicated to Professor Jerzy Lukierski, a specialist in the domain of quantum groups. It contains a collection of papers on a wide range of topics in modern research, from theoretical high energy physics to mathematical physics.

This monograph explores classical electrodynamics from a geometrical perspective with a clear visual presentation throughout. Featuring over 200 figures, readers will delve into the definitions, properties, and uses of directed quantities in classical field theory. With an emphasis on both mathematical and electrodynamic concepts, the author’s illustrative approach will help readers understand the critical role directed quantities play in physics and mathematics.Chapters are organized so that they gradually scale in complexity, and carefully guide readers through important topics. The first...
