Supernovae are among the most exciting things occurring in the
universe. Much recent research has concentrated on phenomena
related to supernovae. For example, the origin of the cosmic rays
and the origin of the bulk of the heavy elements seem to be closely
associated with the phenomenon of supernovae. With the discovery of
the pulsar in the Crab, it seemed clear that supernovae were also
intimately as sociated with the formation of neutron stars and
perhaps even black holes. The purpose of the conference, of which
this volume contains the proceedings, was to bring together the
leaders of supernova re search, each of whom has concentrated on
different aspects of the problem, to try to form a coherent picture
both observationally and theoretically of our current understanding
of supernovae. In so doing, key invited talks were presented on the
light curves of super novae, both observationally and
theoretically; on the possible uses of supernovae, for example in
determination of the Hubble Constant; on the formation and
evolution of supernova remnants, again both ob servationally and
theoretically. The possibility that supernovae might explain
quasars was also presented. A review of the current status of
statistics of supernovae was presented, giving the rate at which
they go off and the implications with regard to what mass stars are
the progenitors for supernovae. Again, this was presented both from
the observational point of view and from the theoretical stellar
evolution point of view."
