The volumes in the Lectures in Applied Mathematics series contain lectures given at summer seminars in applied mathematics sponsored by the American Mathematical Society and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics on various topics in applied mathematics. Among the themes explored in this volume are the following:
- the increasing role of dynamical systems theory in understanding partial differential equations
- the central importance of certain prototypical equations, such as the complex Ginzburg-Landau, nonlinear Schrödinger, and Korteweg-de Vries equations
- problems in fluid mechanics and the limits of physically motivated heuristic theories of fluids.
This volume contains some of the lectures presented in June 1994 during the AMS-SIAM Summer Seminar at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley. Among the themes explored in this volume are the following:
