This volume presents some of the lectures and research during the special programme held at the Newton Institute in 1994. The book, in two parts, begins with an introductory overview. The two parts each contain a mix of substantial expository articles and research papers that outline important and topical ideas. Many of the results have not been presented before. Symplectic methods are one of the most active areas of research in mathematics currently, and this volume will attract much attention.
