abstract
We review the structure of W_infty algebras, their super and topological extensions, and their contractions down to (super) w_infty. Emphasis is put on the field theoretic realisations of these algebras. We also review the structure of w_infty and W_infty gravities and comment on various applications of W_infty symmetry.
