PREFACE A symposium on Algebraic Groups took place at the University of Utrecht from 1 - 4 April, 1986. It: was organized to celebrate two birthdays: the 350th anniversary oftheurtiversity and the 60th birthday of its distinguished member, Professor T.A. Springer. The university celebrated with a series of international scientific symposia and congresses, of which 'Algebraic Groups' was the first one. Our symposium was funded by the 'Stichting 350 jaar Rijksuniversiteit Utrecht', the 'Koninklijke Nederlandse Academie van Wetenschappen', and the Dutch research organisation ZWo. To the first of these bodies and to the convention bureau QLT employed by them, we are also indebted for help with the organization, as we are for secreLarial help to the Mathematics Department of Utrecht University. To honour Professor Springer, we felt it would be appropriate to invite a number of leading experts in the field of algebraic groups to lecture on their current research; in this way a wide spectrum of topics would be covered and the central role of algebraic groups in mathematics emphasized. It is a tribute to the active part which Springer has played in the development of the subject, that all of the speakers have had close scholarly and personal contacts with him at one time or another. Of the fifteen invited speakers thirteen were able to come, while another mathematician graciously accepted to be a last-minute stand-in. Fourteen manuscripts were contributed
