SIAM Conference on Nonlinear Waves and Coherent Structures (NW14)

 August 11-14, 2014

 Churchill College, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom

Sponsored by the SIAM Activity Group on Nonlinear Waves and Coherent Structures

Theoretical aspects of applied mathematical research on nonlinear waves and coherent structures are relevant to subjects as diverse as general relativity, high-energy particle and plasma physics, fluid and solid mechanics, nonlinear electrical circuits, Bose-Einstein condensation, nonlinear optics, random media, atmosphere and ocean dynamics, chemical reactions, and biology. Remarkable agreement between theory and experiments can be claimed in many of these fields.
The goals of the conference are to provide a forum for the development of mathematical methods and tools, to foster cross-fertilization among different fields of application, and most crucially to enable communication between the mathematicians who build the theory and the scientists who use it. The conference program will consist of presentations on subjects ranging from basic mathematical research to concrete applications.

Additional facilities for residents include an onsite laundrette, a TV room, a bar and café (subject to opening hours). Sports facilities include squash and tennis courts, and a multi-gym. Sports equipment, irons and hair dryers can all be borrowed from the Porters' Lodge.

Bedrooms will be available from 14.00 on the day of your arrival and must be vacated by 09.30 on the departure day. There will be a room available at Churchill College to leave luggage.
