Review text

In this idiosyncratic survey the author points out the role of homotopy algebra, especially higher (algebraic) homotopies in mathematical physics of the last years. For the most technical details the author refers to [\textit{M. Markl, S. Shnider}, and \textit{J. Stasheff}, Operads in Algebra, Topology and Physics, Mathematical Surveys and Monographs, Vol. 96, AMS, Providence, RI, (2002; Zbl 1017.18001)]. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1062.53002].
