✦ Synopsis

During the academic year 1969-1970 the Department of Mathematics of
Washington University held a special year devoted to various topics
touching on symmetric spaces. A number of experts in various aspects of
this field were invited to give short courses of one to three weeks duration
designed in each case to lead anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of Lie
groups and symmetric spaces to some understanding of current research in
the area of special interest of the lecturer. This volume consists of the texts
of these courses, prepared by the lecturers themselves.
