SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The conference String-Math 2014 was held from June 9-13, 2014, at the University of Alberta. This edition of String-Math is the first to include satellite workshops: "String-Math Summer School" (held from June 2-6, 2014, at the University of British Columbia), "Calabi-Yau Manifolds and their Moduli" (held from June 14-18, 2014, at the University of Alberta), and "Quantum Curves and Quantum Knot Invariants" (held from June 16-20, 2014, at the Banff International Research Station). This volume presents the proceedings of the conference and satellite workshops. For mathematics, string theory has.
