PHOTOS TAKEN DURING the CONFERENCE
Objectives: The aim of the conference is to bring together mathematical scientists with interests in nonlinear evolution PDE (including the Euler equations, the Navier-Stokes equations, and the Boltzmann equation), and related applications to develop further some of the new connections between nonlinear evoluation equations and other areas in mathematics and related fields in the sciences. Some of the major issues of these fields and the state of the art of the associated topics will be covered. This conference is a part of the scientific activities of the Northwestern PDE Emphasis Year 2002-03.
Scientific Program: The program will consist of 45-minute plenary lectures and 30-minute invited talks, starting at 8:50am, June 12 (Thursday), and ending before 1:00pm, June 15 (Sunday), 2003. The conference will take place in Leverone Hall of Kellogg School of Management, 2001 Sheridan Road, Evanston (near the corner between Sheridan Road and Foster Street). For more details about the location, please see Kellogg School of Management.
Sponsors: The National Science Foundation, the Department of Mathematics, and the Office of the Vice President for Research and the Dean's Office of Weinberg College of Northwestern University.
