Recent Advances in Real Algebraic Geometry and Quadratic Forms.

The papers in this volume grew out of a year-long program in ""Real Algebraic Geometry and Quadratic Forms"", held at the University of California at Berkeley during the 1990-1991 academic year. This valuable collection of research articles by top workers serves as a record of cu...
