Scientific paper

We give a review of the extended conformal algebras, known as $W$ algebras,
which contain currents of spins higher than 2 in addition to the
energy-momentum tensor. These include the non-linear $W_N$ algebras; the linear
$W_\infty$ and $W_{1+\infty}$ algebras; and their super-extensions. We discuss
their applications to the construction of $W$-gravity and $W$-string theories.
