description: Based on talks given at a London Mathematical Society meeting prior to the July 2001 workshop at the U. of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, with which Voronov is affiliated, 15 papers focus on the current trend in math of non-classical geometric and algebraic structures. While classical objects like Lie groups and Lie algebras remain important, they are not deemed sufficient. The "new" theoretical and mathematical physics, quantization theory, and deformation theory have birthed/revived interest in such structures as quantum objects, homotopy relatives of Lie and associative algebras, and supermanifolds a version of which is treated by the editor.
