Summary: Examples!
Comment: An ambitious goal: Mathematics and theoretical physics!--And marking our crossover into the new millennium. Not easy! This book takes a sound approach, a sucessful one: It lets the reader do his/her own speculation about the future, inspired by a selection of well written, and well balanced articles. The editors picked central topics, and, in each case, they picked an undisputed authority in the field to write about it. The book represents a choice, one with with diversity of themes, and yet the reader will be able to pick out unifying and central ideas that link them. To mention a few: A. Ekert (quantum computation), S. Mallat (wavelets), C. Thomassen ( graph theory), N. Trudinger (PDE), B. Mandelbrot (fractals), K. Ribet (modular forms), J. Bjorken (particle physics), K. Binder (statistical physics), ... Each article gives a glimps of a big field of science, and each hints at the possibilities for the future. And yet, the book and its authors have been aiming at non-specialists, and at students;--presenting ideas that the reader couldn't easily get from the journal literature.
