Abstract
I present a brief review on some of the recent developments in topological quantum field theory. These include topological string theory, topological Yang-Mills theory and Chern-Simons gauge theory. It is emphasized how the application of different field and string theory methods has led to important progress, opening entirely new points of view in the context of Gromov-Witten invariants, Donaldson invariants, and quantum-group invariants for knots and links.
