Issue Thirty Five: February 2004

Issue Thirty Five is scheduled for 2nd February 2004. 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 28th January.

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.
