9318637 Maxwell The American Mathematical Society requests a grant in the amount of $62,371 for the twenty-fourth AMS-SIAM Summer Seminar in Applied Mathematics, to be held in the summer of 1994. Previous seminars were held annually or at two or three year intervals since 1957 for a total or 23 seminars. The 1994 topic, "Dynamical Systems and Probabilistic Methods for Nonlinear Waves", was selected by the 1992 AMS-SIAM Committee on Applied Mathematics. Members of the Organizing Committee for the 1994 Summer seminar are: David W. MCLaughlin (co-chair), Philip Holmes (co-chair), Percy Deift, James M. Hyman, C. David Levermore, Y. Sinai, and C. Eugene Wayne. The organizers propose and AMS-SIAM Summer Seminar in 1994 which would focus on the use of probabilistic and dynamical systems methods in the study of nonlinear waves. The conference program will be specifically geared toward advanced graduate students and recent Ph.D recipients who will soon be participating in these fast developing and important fields. The 1994 Summer Seminar will be held during a two-week period in June/July 1994, at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley,California. The Society will be responsible for making suitable arrangements for lecture and seminar rooms, and for coordinating local administrative matters with MSRI staff.
