Issue Twenty-One: August 2000

Issue twenty-one is scheduled for 7th August 2000. Submission of news (new courses, meetings, conferences, new appointments, jobs, new research directions etc.), comments or articles about any aspect of nonlinearity in the UK are very welcome and should arrive by Wednesday 2nd August.

All material should ideally should be sent by email to uk-nonl@ucl.ac.uk.

Format: submissions will be converted to HTML, so feel free to include any WWW links. We have an automatic converter for LaTeX, and for several other word processor formats. Plain text email is also fine.

If necessary, paper copy can instead be sent to
