This volume contains five review articles, three in the Al­ gebra part and two in the Geometry part, surveying the fields of ring theory, modules, and lattice theory in the former, and those of integral geometry and differential-geometric methods in the calculus of variations in the latter. The literature covered is primarily that published in 1965-1968. v CONTENTS ALGEBRA RING THEORY L. A. Bokut', K. A. Zhevlakov, and E. N. Kuz'min § 1.
