Description

In two lectures the author emphasizes two points regarding lepton-hadron scattering. First is the crucial importance of testing the 'exact' sum rules as tests of the local current algebra. Discrepancies, if found, between experiment and theory cannot be 'interpreted away' in terms of more complex parton wave function for the hadronic ground state. The three sum rules discussed in detail are those of Adler, Bjorken, and Gross and Llewellyn-Smith. Second is an understanding of the corrections to scaling in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and what they teach us. Theoretical work is tied to advances in experimental parameter range and accuracy
