A meeting in honour of the 70th birthday of Alan C. Newell

Warwick Mathematics Institute, University of Warwick

July 09 - 10, 2012

Organisers: Colm Connaughton and Sergey Nazarenko

From optics to ocean waves, turbulence to pattern formation, chaos theory to solitons, most of the great leaps forward in the mathematical sciences in the modern era have hinged upon acquiring a quantitative appreciation of the consequences of nonlinearity in partial differential equations. Alan Newell has been at the forefront of this effort for almost 50 years. This meeting aims to bring together many of Alan's friends, colleagues, collaborators and others influenced by his work on the occassion of his 70th birthday , partly to review Alan's achievements to date but primarily to look to the future and gauge where nonlinear science is going from here.
