Proceedings of a June 1996 conference of interest to physicists, students, and research mathematicians working in topology, homological algebras, and mathematical physics. Contains papers on current research topics, including combinatorial polyhedra and moduli spaces. Specific subjects include spaces of local vector fields, perturbation and transfer of generic algebraic structure, hidden Stasheff polytopes in algebraic K-theory and in the space of Morse functions, and stable block bundle homotopy.
