INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LJUBLJANA
"LETs FACE CHAOS through NON-LINEAR DUNAMICS"
September 26 - October 4, 1993 Ljubljana and Portoroz, Slovenia
***** PLEASE DISTRIBUTE *****
DEAR FRIEND,
I am sure you are wondering:
"WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?"
If you are already working in this field you can present your work
on a lecture or prepare a workshop. In that case please send us the
material you would like to lecture, your CV and bibliography as soon
as possible. All the materials lectured on the summer school
and presented on the workshops will be printed in the book that will
be available two months after the end of the summer school.
If you are an undergraduate or graduate student, the knowledge you
can acquire by taking part in our summer school is useful in almost
any field in which you are majoring.
In addition, facing chaos through non-linear dynamics is not as
distant from our senses as are the other two scientific revolu-
tions of the twentieth century - the theory of relativity and
quantum mechanics.
As you will learn if you join us, all you need is pencil and
paper or computer, and of course, KNOWLEDGE. The latter will
surely be enriched: for this very purpose, experts from all
around the world have been invited to lecture to us!
"ANY SOCIAL EVENTS?"
The first day's lectures will take place in Portoroz, on the
Adriatic coast. On the way back to Ljubljana, where the rest of
the program continues, we will stop at the Lipica horse stables
and Postojna Cave. We have also prepared a tour through Ljublja-
na, the capital of Slovenia.
Further special events will take place in the evenings: concerts,
plays, etc. There will also be a weekend away to give you a
chance to get to know the Alpine region of Slovenia.
"AND HOW TO APPLY?"
NOTE: THE APPLICATION DEADLINE IS JULY 26, 1993!
DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT US IF YOU NEED ANY FURTHER INFORMATION,
AND THEN JOIN US IN SEPTEMBER AT OUR SUMMER SCHOOL HERE IN LJUBLJANA
AND PORTOROZ.
WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT THIS SUMMER SCHOOL IS A MEMORABLE EDUCATIONAL
EVENT WITH LOTS OF FUN!
