This grant is to assist in the support of an international symposium (The Fifteenth Boundary Element Method International Conference, BEM 15) on boundary element methods to be held August 10 - 12, 1993 at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA. The aim of the symposium is to appraise the state-of-the-art and set directions for new research in the field of boundary element methods for the year 2000. It will facilitate a dialogue between engineers and scientists working in a variety of technological fields that employ boundary element methods. The conference will result in an authoritative high quality proceedings volume which will serve as a basic reference on this subject.*** //
