Fractals, Quasicrystals, Chaos, Knots and Algebraic Quantum Mechanics

At the end of the workshop on "New Theoretical Concepts in Physical Chemistry", one of the participants made an attempt to present a first impression of its achievements from his own personal standpoint. Appar­ ently his views reflected a general feeling, so that the organizers thought the...
