Issue Six: September 1996

Issue Six will appear in September 1996. 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 the second week in September.

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

Format: any material will first be converted to HTML, so feel free to include any WWW links. We have an automatic converter for LaTeX, and for several other wordprocessor formats. And of course plaintext email is also fine.

If necessary, paper copy can instead be sent to
