Synopsis

Provides graduate students and research mathematicians working in algebraic geometry with a perspective on how four-manifold theory was studied before the discovery of the Weiberg-Witten theory in current use. Explains how the spectacular success of the theory was founded on a decade of constructing correct questions and basic strategies. The five lectures are from the 1994 meeting of an annual summer graduate program in Princeton, New Jersey. No index.
