摘要: We give a mathematical account of recent string theory calcula- tion which predicts the number rational curves on generic quintic three- fold. Our involves interpretation Yukawa couplings in terms variations Hodge structure, new q-expansion principle for functions moduli space Calabi-Yau manifolds, and "mirror symmetry" phe- nomenon recently observed by theorists.
