This book evolved out of some one hundred lectures given by twenty
experts at a special instructional conference sponsored by the
University Grants Commis sion, India. It is pedagogical in style
and self-contained in several interrelated areas of physics which
have become extremely important in present-day theoretical
research. The articles begin with an introduction to general
relativity and cosmology as well as particle physics and quantum
field theory. This is followed by reviews of the standard gauge
models of high-energy physics, renormalization group and grand
unified theories. The concluding parts of the book comprise
discussions in current research topics such as problems of the
early universe, quantum cosmology and the new directions towards a
unification of gravitation with other forces. In addition, special
concise treatments of mathematical topics of direct relevance are
also included. The content of the book was carefully worked out for
the mutual education of students and research workers in general
relativity and particle physics. This ambitious programe
consequently necessitated the involvement of a number of different
authors. However, care has been taken to ensure that the material
meshes into a unified, cogent and readable book. We hope that the
book will serve to initiate and guide a student in these different
areas of investigation starting from first principles and leading
to the exciting current research problems of an interdisciplinary
nature in the context of the origin and structure of the universe."
