This volume attempts to bring together various interrelated thories in physics namely, relativity, quantum mechanics, Yang-Mills theory, elector weak theory and strings, To allow sufficient flexibility in the learning process, the proofs of essential results are given in the form of hints ot the exercises. Also, references to original works are listed for detailed readings. This approach has enabled the book to present a comprehensive account of the topics in a packaged form, the book is a mandatory reading for postgraduates, researchers in mathematics and phusics, and for all having an inquiaitive mind. The salient feature of the book is its aproach to unify all theories in physics converging on the second superstring revolution and exploration of linkages of string theory with black holes, the book is self contained and has a large number of examples, solved exercises and illustrations. * Contents : 1. Preliminaries 2. Complex Functions, Riemann surfaces and Two-Dimensional Conformal Field Theory ( An Introducation ) 3. representations 4. A Primer on Operators 5.
