Legacy of the Inverse Scattering Transform in Applied Mathematics: Proceedings of an AMS-IMS-Siam Joint Summer Research Conference on the Legacy of Inverse Scattering Transform in Nonlinear Wave Propagation, Mount Holyoke College, South Hadle FROM THE PUBLISHER
This conference provided a forum for general exposition and discussion of recent developments in nonlinear waves and related areas with potential applications to other fields. The book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers interested in mathematics, physics, and engineering.
SYNOPSIS
More than a proceedings, this volume includes seven articles that review the state of research on different aspects of the field of solitons and the inverse scattering transform. The papers (from the June 2001 Joint Summer Research Conference at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, Mass.) discuss experimental research and developments in nonlinear waves, with attention to applicability to other fields. Graduate students and researchers in math, physics, and engineering will be the book's audience. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
