Summary

This book comprises a collection of papers from participants at the IMCS Workshop on Computational and Geometric Aspects of Modern Algebra, held at Heriot-Watt University in 1998. Written by leading researchers, the papers cover a wide range of topics in the vibrant areas of word problems in algebra and geometric group theory. This book represents a timely record of recent work and provides an indication of the key areas of future development.
