SOFIA V. KOVALEVSKAYA

St. Petersburg, Russia

May 11-15, 2000

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

Petersburg Department of Steklov Institute of Mathematics (POMI) and Euler International Mathematical Institute organise symposium Theory of Partial Differential Equation and Special Topics of Theory of Ordinary Differential Equation. The symposium is dedicated to 150 anniversary since birth of Sofia V. Kovalevskaya (Kowalewski).

Preferable topics of the symposium are those connected with partial differential equations and their applications and special topics of ordinary differential equations, preferably connected with Kovalevskaya case of the rotation of a rigid body about a fixed point.

It is planned that there will be four working days with presentations of papers and one day with an excursion and celebration of the anniversary of S.V.Kovalevskaya.
