  Theory, Modelling and Computation

  October 8 to 12, 2000
  Heidelberg

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS


The understanding of nonlinear phenomena has become a central theme
in applied mathematics. The aim of this conference is to discuss
the challenges applied nonlinear analysis has to face given the 
increased diversity of scientific problems, and that they are seen
from various points of view. 

 - In which direction should the classical techniques be developed
   further?
 - How do new available technologies, particularly concerning the
   modern computer, influence the development of our research area? 
 - Which are the major trends in applied analysis?

Distinguished researchers from different fields will give their
perspectives on these questions.

The conference will close with a reception to celebrate 
Willi Jaeger's birthday.
