This book summarizes the latest advances in helioseismology,
including the   measurement of the internal stratification of
the sun, the assessment of thesensitivity of oscillations
to uncertainties in fundamental physics, and thestudy of
the angular velocity and the dynamics of the convection
zone.   Of particular interest is the structure of the solar
core and its relevance to the neutrino problem. The
understanding so gained permits one to look      ahead
confidently to problems concerning the evolution of sun-like
starsthat might be addressed by seismological techniques.
