Scientific paper

In this talk, I shall highlight the growth of spectroscopic astrophysics over the last half century by drawing on examples of interesting results and challenges in the field of elemental and isotopic abundance determinations as applied to problems in stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis. In addition to mapping the growth in our understanding of stellar atmospheres and spectral line formation, I hope to show how progress in atomic and molecular spectroscopy has stimulated the growth of the field and how nuclear astrophysics has provided challenges and opportunities. Quantitative stellar spectroscopy is not an exhausted topic; the talk may end with a glimpse of the future for the next generations of students of the elements and stars.
