Many of the big questions facing mathematicians in this area have been answered, and new directions and problems have arisen. One of the characteristics of the field is the diversity of tools researchers bring to it. The Workshop on Geometric Topology was held in June 1992 at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, to bring together researchers from different subfields to share knowledge, ideas, and tools. 330 8 $aThis volume contains the refereed proceedings of the conference. 410 0$aContemporary mathematics (American Mathematical Society) ;$v164. 606 $aLow-dimensional topology$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLow-dimensional topology 676 $a514/.2 702 $aGordon$b Cameron$f1945- 702 $aMoriah$b Yoav$f1952- 702 $aWajnryb$b Bronislaw$f1946- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480705103321 996 $aGeometric topology$980109 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
