Organizers: F G Scholtz (Chairman) (Stellenbosch), N Chetty (Natal), W de Beer (ISS International), H C Eggers (Stellenbosch), H B Geyer (Stellenbosch), F J W Hahne (Stellenbosch), W D Heiss (Witwatersrand)

Deadline for abstracts: December 15, 1998

Description:
The course is a graduate school aimed primarily at theoretical physicists and postgraduate students interested in broadening their knowledge of the field. Experimental physicists with an interest in the field are, however, also encouraged to take part. In contrast to previous schools in this series, the present school aims to be interdisciplinary in character. Therefore participants from fields outside Physics are welcome. We do, however, expect all participants to have a suitable background in the natural sciences or engineering.

Speakers: P Bak (Niels Bohr Institute), D Dhar (Tata Institute), P M Goldbart (University of Illinois), P Grassberger (Juelich and BUGH Wuppertal), B Huckestein (University of Cologne), R M Ziff (University of Michigan)
