Etale cohomology is an important branch in arithmetic geometry.

Shiing-Shen Chern (1911-2004) was one of the leading differential geometers of the 20th century. Chern's works span various fields of geometry. Inspired by Chern and his work, colleagues, students and friends - themselves highly regarded mathematicians - come together to honor and celebrate Chern's huge contributions in the form of this book.

The book introduces the basic notions in Symplectic and Contact Geometry at the level of the second year graduate student. It also contains many exercises, some of which are solved only in the last chapter.
