This book aims to present different methods and perspectives in the theory of quantum groups and to provide a bridge between the algebraic, representation-theoretic, analytic, and differential-geometric approaches. It also covers recent developments in noncommutative geometry which have close relations to quantization and quantum group symmetries. The volume includes surveys by experts. The surveys originated from an activity at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn.
