Introduction This conference continued a long tradition of similar meetings held at TV Berlin in earlier years. It was, however, for two reasons very distinct from its predecessors: For the first time the EC-Project "Global Analysis, Geometry and Applications" provided the framework, bringing together more than fifty representatives of the twelve participating institutes from all over Western Europe. The exchange between our project and the recent developements in geometry and analysis outside the realms of the EC program was a major objective during the meeting. The second novelty of this conference was caused by the unexpected political changes in Berlin, Germany and East Europe. Encounters with mathematicians from eastern countries have always been a special feature of the Berlin conferences, but this time there came more than sixty mathematicians from the former DDR and other socialist countries. Many of us had know each other for a long time through our publications, but had never met personally. It became quite obvious, that the conference laid the foundation for a number of future east-west cooperations. The total number of more than 200 participants was twice that of earlier years. About 40 colleagues came from overseas. The notes presented in this volume give only an incomplete selection of the topics covered during the conference. We therefore include a list of the participants and of all invited titles. We are grateful for the support that made this conference possible. Our tha
