This volume contains five review articles, three in the Al gebra part and two in the Geometry part, surveying the fields of ring theory, modules, and lattice theory in the former, and those of integral geometry and differential-geometric methods in the calculus of variations in the latter. The literature covered is primarily that published in 1965-1968. v CONTENTS ALGEBRA RING THEORY L. A. Bokut', K. A. Zhevlakov, and E. N. Kuz'min
