Workshop: Analytic and Geometric Themes in Nonlinear Mathematics

The aim of this meeting and workshop is to explore major open questions and challenges in the areas of nonlinear differential and difference equations and geometry.

There will be pedagogic lectures as well as informal discussions. The main aims are:

• To communicate across conventional barriers.
• To identify major open problems in nonlinear mathematics.
• To evolve a common toolbox towards answers.

The meeting will start at the end of the Computational Techniques and Applications Conference (CTAC'97) (U. of Adelaide, 29 Sept-1 Oct'97) after lunch on Wednesday 1 Oct '97.

The meeting and workshop are supported by a special research initiative of the Australian Research Council entitled "Nonlinear Mathematics Network and National Centre for Mathematics" and the Institute for Geometry and its Applications at the University of Adelaide.
