General Information

Since 1988 the Canberra International Physics Summer Schools have provided intensive, first-class training in topical areas of mathematical and theoretical physics that are not routinely covered in many senior undergraduate programmes. For this reason the Summer Schools have proved to be very beneficial for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students and early-career researchers from universities and research organizations. This tradition will be continued in 2002.

Aims and Scope

The scope of Dynamic Summer is envisaged to encompass the dynamics of nonlinear processes and the emergence of structure through symmetry-breaking.
It will include the fundamentals of nonlinear dynamics theory and practice as well as modern developments in theory and computational modelling, applications and experiments in nonlinear physics. Dynamic Summer is planned primarily as a learning forum, that will bring together and nurture international talent and expertise and build on the interdisciplinary strength that characterises 21st century dynamical systems research.

Target Participants

Dynamic Summer is targeted towards 3rd year, 4th year, and postgraduate students and researchers, from Australian and foreign universities, in physical sciences or mathematics who have at least 2nd year maths knowledge. The level of exposition will be senior undergraduate/beginning postgraduate.Depending on available funds some financial assistance may be offered to student participants from universities outside the ACT.

Sponsors

The Summer School is sponsored by
the ANU Centre for Theoretical Physics
http://wwwrsphysse.anu.edu.au/theophys/CTP/index.shtml,
the Asia-Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics
http://www.apctp.org/,
and the Australian Institute of Physics http://www.aip.org.au/.

Members of the Australian Institute of Physics attending the Summer School from outside the ACT may apply to their State AIP Branch for some assistance towards travel costs. Details and application forms, including AIP graduate membership and student membership forms will be available at the Summer School. The ACT Branch of the AIP will sponsor a barbecue for participants.

Lecture notes and cost of attendance:

The DynamicSummer lectures will be published by World Scientific
in a single volume, as part of the Lecture Notes in Complex Systems series, titled: "Nonlinear Dynamics: From Optics to Ecosystems".
This volume will provide an introduction to modern research directions and scholarship in nonlinear dynamics, thus will be a valuable reference for participants. The inspirational "new millenium" flavour of the material will appeal to a broad readership drawn from mathematical and physical sciences disciplines. The book of lectures will continue the well-established Canberra International Physics Summer School series of high quality lecture notes (also published by World Scientific http://www.wspc.com/books/series/cipss_series.html), retailing at between US$62 and US$120.

In a standard agreement with World Scientific, the ANU Centre for Theoretical Physics/Complex Systems (as the Summer School's local sponsor) will be committed to purchase a minimum number of the proposed Lecture Notes volumes (between 80-100). In order to defray part of this cost the Organizing Committee has determined that all participants are required, in lieu of a registration fee, to prepurchase a copy of the Proceedings at the heavily subsidised price of only AU$55 (which includes tax). This should be paid at or before arrival at the Summer School. Payment on arrival should be by cash. Payment in advance should be by cheque. A Tax Invoice will be issued on receipt of payment and should be retained for Australian taxation purposes. For enquiries regarding the Lecture Notes please contact the Convenor, Dr Rowena Ball Rowena.Ball@anu.edu.au.
