Quantum Cohomology - Lectures given at the C.I.M.E. Summer School held in Cetraro, Italy, June 30 - July 8, 1997

The book gathers the lectures given at the C.I.M.E. summer school 'Quantum Cohomology' held in Cetraro (Italy) from June 30th to July 8th, 1997. The lectures and the subsequent updating cover a large spectrum of the subject on the field, from the algebro-geometric point of view, to the symplectic approach, including recent developments of string-branes theories and q-hypergeometric functions.
