Reseña del editor

Part one comprises 12 lectures. A recurring theme in a number of the lectures is the Yang-Baxter relation which characterizes a very large class in integrable systems, including many state models, two-dimensional conformal field theory, quantum field theory, and quantum gravity in 2+1 dimensions. Pa
