July 18 - August 02, 2014. https://sites.google.com/site/levicivitainstitute/xvii-summer-diffiety-school The aim of this permanent School is to introduce undergraduate and Ph. D. students in Mathematics and Physics as well as post-doctoral researchers to a specific area of Mathematics and Teoretical Physics: SECONDARY CALCULUS A diffiety is a geometrical object that properly formalizes the concept of the solution space of a given system of (nonlinear) PDEs, much as an algebraic variety does with respect to solutions of a given system of algebraic equations. Secondary Calculus is a natural diffiety analogue of the standard calculus on smooth manifolds, and as such leads to a very rich general theory of nonlinear PDEs. Moreover, there are indications that it could be a natural language for quantum physics, just as the standard calculus is a natural language for classical physics. The school is organized in cooperation under the scientific direction of Prof. A. M. Vinogradov Questions and suggestions should be sent to the e-address: diffiety@gmail.com. ------ Subject: Conference on Modeling of Flow and Transport in Porous Media From: Amaziane brahim.amaziane@univ-pau.fr Date: March 10, 2014 International Conference on Numerical and Mathematical Modeling of Flow and Transport in Porous Media (NM2PorousMedia-2014 Dubrovnik, Croatia, 29 September-3 October 2014. http://nm2porousmedia.math.pmf.unizg.hr/ Deadline to submit an abstract: March 31, 2014.
