This two-volume set, dedicated to Boris Dubrovin (1950-2019), comprises parts I and II. Each volume is a compilation of articles written in tribute to Dubrovin's remarkable personality and significant contributions to mathematical physics. The authors convey their profound admiration for Dubrovin's exceptional character and the profound impact he made in the field. For numerous authors, Dubrovin served as a dear friend, colleague, inspiring mentor, and teacher. The contributions are organized into two sections: "Integrable Systems" and "Quantum Theories and Algebraic Geometry." These sections reflect Dubrovin's primary scientific interests, namely integrable systems, integrable systems of hydrodynamic type, WDVV equations (Frobenius manifolds), isomonodromy equations (flat connections), and quantum cohomology.

Chronologically, these interests can be further divided into several sub-areas: integrable systems, integrable systems of hydrodynamic type, WDVV equations (Frobenius manifolds), isomonodromy equations (flat connections), and quantum cohomology. The articles included in the first part primarily focus on these specific areas, with a particular emphasis on the first three listed above. On the other hand, the second part contains articles on quantum theories and algebraic geometry, which are less directly related to Dubrovin's early interests.

Despite this divergence, the two volumes collectively showcase the profound influence and legacy of Boris Dubrovin in mathematical physics. The authors' heartfelt tributes and scholarly contributions honor Dubrovin's remarkable life and work, ensuring that his contributions will continue to inspire future generations of mathematicians and physicists.
