  Affine quantization is a parallel procedure to canonical quantization, which
is ideally suited to deal with non-renormalizable scalar models as well as
quantum gravity. The basic applications of this approach lead to the common
goals of any quantization, such as Schroedinger's representation and
Schroedinger's equation. Careful attention is paid toward seeking favored
classical variables, which are those that should be promoted to the principal
quantum operators. This effort leads toward classical variables that have a
constant positive, zero, or negative curvature, which typically characterize
such favored variables. This focus leans heavily toward affine variables with a
constant negative curvature, which leads to a surprisingly accommodating
analysis of non-renormalizable scalar models as well as Einstein's general
relativity.
