    Note: In the centennial year, 1985-86, of Harlow Shapley's birth, the study of globular clusters was no less important to the development of astronomy than in 1915, when Shapley first noted their concentration on the sky. By 1917 Shapley had used the properties of the system of globular clusters to complete the Copernican revolution and locate the solar system, and its Earth-bound observers, far from the center of the Galaxy and the globular cluster distribution. Seven decades later, in the year of these proceedings, globular cluster research and the study of the system of globular clusters in our own and distant galaxies is undergoing a renaissance of activity. The introduction of new observational tools, particularly CCD imagers and digital spectrographs, as well as powerful theoretical methods have transformed the study of globular clusters into one of the main line areas of modern astrophysics. Thus it seemed particularly appropriate to one of us, when considering how the Harvard College Observatory might mark the Shapley centennial, to propose and plan for an IAU Symposium on Globular Cluster Systems in Galaxies. Planning for the Shapley Symposium, as it came to be called, was even more drawn out than the preparation of this volume. The Symposium was originally proposed to the IAU Secretariat in time for it to be held in August, 1985, so that it might occur in the centennial (calendar) year

Meetings held in the past ten years on related topics include: IAU Symposium No. 109, "Astrometric Techniques", held at the University of Florida in Jan. , 1984, "The MK Process and Stellar Classification", held at the University of Toronto in June, 1983, "Stellar Absolute Energy Distributions", an unpublished Joint Meeting (Commissions 25 and 45), held at the General Assembly of the IAU in Patras, Greece in August, 1982, IAU Colloquium No. 62, "Current Techniques in Double and Multiple Star Research", held at Northern Arizona University in May, 1981, the ESO Workshop: "Methods of Abundance Determination for Stars , held in Geneva in March, 1980, "Problems of Calibration of Multicolor Photometric Sys tems", held at Dudley Observatory in March, 1979, IAU Colloquium No. 48, "Modern Astrometry", held at the University of Vienna in Sept. , 1978, IAU Colloquium No. 50, "High Angular Resolution Stellar Interferometry" held at the University of Maryland in Aug. , 1978, "Spectral Classification of the Future", held at the Vatican in July, 1978 and IAU Symposium No. 72, "Abundance Effects in Classification", held at the University of Lausanne in July, 1975. The present meeting was the first to cover the broad range of the calibration of fundamental stellar quantities in one meeting. Nine commissions of the IAU co-sponsored the meeting

    Note: The purpose of this volume is to present a clear and systematic account of the mathematical methods of wave phenomena in solids, gases, and water that will be readily accessible to physicists and engineers. The emphasis is on developing the necessary mathematical techniques, and on showing how these mathematical concepts can be effective in unifying the physics of wave propagation in a variety of physical settings: sound and shock waves in gases, water waves, and stress waves in solids. Nonlinear effects and asymptotic phenomena will be discussed. Wave propagation in continuous media (solid, liquid, or gas) has as its foundation the three basic conservation laws of physics: conservation of mass, momentum, and energy, which will be described in various sections of the book in their proper physical setting. These conservation laws are expressed either in the Lagrangian or the Eulerian representation depending on whether the boundaries are relatively fixed or moving. In any case, these laws of physics allow us to derive the "field equations" which are expressed as systems of partial differential equations. For wave propagation phenomena these equations are said to be "hyperbolic" and, in general, nonlinear in the sense of being "quasi linear" . We therefore attempt to determine the properties of a system of "quasi linear hyperbolic" partial differential equations which will allow us to calculate the displacement, velocity fields, etc
