PREFACE During the week from the 24th

to 29th of June 1985 the 14th International Conference

on Di fferential Geometric Methods in Mathematical P.hysics was held under the auspices of the University of Salamanca. As is traditional in this series of Conferences, it was devoted "to an exchange between physics and mathematics in I.\Jhich differential geometr i c viewpo ints 'play a predominant role". The main topic of the Conference was "Mathematical problems in Classical Field Theory" with special emphasis on Super field Theory, although

concerning

"Geometric Quantization" and "Symplectic techniques applied to Physics" were also offered since they are two topics strongly influenced by earlier DGM-Conferences. We shall
