July 19 - August 02, 2016. Web page: www.levi-civita.org/Activities/DiffietySchools/xix-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 under the scientific direction of Prof. A. M. Vinogradov. Questions and suggestions should be sent to the e-address: diffiety@gmail.com. ------ Subject: 3 PhD positions at Aston University/UK From: "Stich, Michael" Date: Sat, 21 Nov 2015 19:40:59 +0000 Aston University, School of Engineering and Applied Science offers three PhD Studentships (3 years).
