Objectives: The aim of the conference is to bring together mathematical scientists with interests in nonlinear partial differential equations and their applications to other areas in mathematics and related fields in sciences to present recent developments and explore new connections between PDE and these areas.
Scientific Program: The program will consist of 45-minute plenary lectures, 30-minute invited lectures, and 20-minute contributed talks. The topic sections will include: Nonlinear Elliptic and Parabolic Equations; Nonlinear Wave Equations; Nonlinear Conservation Laws; and Applications and Computations.

Support We have some funds to help
support the participation of graduate students, post-doctoral
researchers, and senior researchers who have no grant support.
We particularly encourage people who belong to currently
underrepresented groups (minorities and women) to apply.
We will begin making decisions after January 10, 1998.
*Some funds are still available ONLY for participants who are women,
Hispanic Americans, African Americans, and Filipinos.*
Other funds for general support already ran out.
For those who have not heard from us about your applications,
this means that we received your applications too late for support!!
We now have a form to apply for
support. If you are interested in applying, please print it
