 M University) as part of Stanford algebraic geometry seminar\n\nLecture he
 ld in 383-N.\n\nAbstract\nIn 1870 Jordan explained how Galois theory can b
 e applied\n to problems from enumerative geometry\, with the group\n encod
 ing intrinsic structure of the problem.  Earlier\n Hermite showed the equi
 valence of Galois groups with\n geometric monodromy groups\, and in 1979 H
 arris initiated the\n modern study of Galois groups of enumerative problem
 s.  He\n posited that a Galois group should be `as large as possible'\n in
  that it will be the largest group preserving internal\n symmetry in the g
 eometric problem.\n\n   I will describe this background and discuss some w
 ork of\n many to compute\, study\, and use Galois groups of geometric\n pr
 oblems\, including those that arise in applications of\n algebraic geometr
 y.\n
