String theory is the candidate for the unification of all fundamental interactions including gravity. In the past few years this active field of research has developed very rapidly and in several different directions. The aim of the conference is to give an overview of the status of the art in string theory through the contributions of the major experts in this field. The main topics include: string unification and effective Lagrangians, N=2 string theories, 2-d quantum gravity, stringy black holes, topological field theory, conformal field theories, strings and quantum field theory.

In the past few years there has been much study of random two dimensional surfaces. These provide simple models of string theories with a few degrees of freedom, as well as toy models of quantum gravity. They have possible applications to the statistical mechanics of phase boundaries and to the development of an effective string description of QCD.Recently, methods have been developed to treat these theories nonperturbatively, based on discrete triangulations of the surfaces that can be generated by simple matrix models. Exact solutions with a rich mathematical structure have emerged. All these matters are discussed fully in this book.

The proceedings reflect a broad spectrum of topics in contemporary theoretical physics: quantum aspects of black holes; recent progress in critical and noncritical string theory; spin chains quantum hall effect and generalized statistics; stochastic dynamics turbulence and reaction kinetics; foundations of quantum mechanics; new statistics in field theory; quantum field theory on Riemann surfaces and knot theory; lattice field theories. The lectures present developments in the frontiers of these subjects and provide interdisciplinary links between the areas.

At the crossing of centuries, it is very important to review the main problems and research in theoretical physics. This was the purpose of the International Workshop on Frontiers of Theoretical Physics, allowing the interchange of ideas among people with different expertise. The proceedings can be divided into two parts: (1) general view talks about string, particle physics, nuclear physics, etc. given by Profs. T Yoneya, M Kobayazhi, A Sanda, Z Li and F Sakata; (2) research related to many important fields, such as quantum field theory, string theory, particle physics, condensed matter physics, nuclear physics and mathematical physics. Contents: Aspects of Current Particle Physics (M Kobayashi); CP Violation Past, Present and Future (A I Sanda); Nonlinear Science in Nuclear Physics (F Sakata); String Theory OCo Where are We Now? (T Yoneya); The Descent Equation of Noncommutative Differential Geometry on Lattice (K Wu); Supersymmetry for Flavors (C Liu); Quantization on Manifolds and Induced Gauge Potentials (Y Ohnuki); Chiral Lagrangian in QCD (Q Wang & Z-M Wang); and other papers.
