Oscillation, Bifurcation and Chaos
The year 1986 marked the sesquicentennial of the publication in 1836 of J Sturm's memoir on boundary value problems for second order equations. In July 1986, the Canadian Mathematical Society sponsored the International Conference on Oscillation, Bifurcation and Chaos. This volume contains the proceedings of this conference.
Nonlinear Dynamics and Stochastic Mechanics
This volume contains the proceedings of the International Symposium on Nonlinear Dynamics and Stochastic Mechanics held at The Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences from August September (1993) as part of the 1992-1993 Program Year on Dynamical Systems and Bifurcation Theory. In recent years, mathematicians and applied scientists have made significant progress in understanding and have developed powerful tools for the analysis of the complex behavior of deterministic and stochastic dynamical systems. By moving beyond classical perturbation methods to more general geometrical, computational, and analytical methods, this book is at the forefront in transferring these new mathematical ideas into engineering practice. This work presents the solutions of some specific problems in engineering structures and mechanics and demonstrates by explicit example these new methods of solution.
Normal Forms and Homoclinic Chaos
This volume presents new research on normal forms, symmetry, homoclinic cycles, and chaos, from the Workshop on Normal Forms and Homoclinic Chaos held during The Fields Institute Program Year on Dynamical Systems and Bifurcation Theory in November 1992, in Waterloo, Canada. The workshop bridged the local and global analysis of dynamical systems with emphasis on normal forms and the recently discovered homoclinic cycles which may arise in normal forms. Specific topics covered in this volume include normal forms for dissipative, conservative, and reversible vector fields, and for symplectic maps; the effects of symmetry on normal forms; the persistence of homoclinic cycles; symmetry-breaking, both spontaneous and induced; mode interactions; resonances; intermittency; numerical computation of orbits in phase space; applications to flow-induced vibrations and to mechanical and structural systems; general methods for calculation of normal forms; and chaotic dynamics arising from normal forms. Of the 32 presentations given at this workshop, 14 of them are represented by papers in this volume.
Stable and Unstable Homotopy
This volume presents the proceedings of workshops on stable homotopy theory and on unstable homotopy theory held at The Fields Institute as part of the homotopy program during the year 1996. The papers in the volume describe current research in the subject, and all included works were refereed. Rather than being a summary of work to be published elsewhere, each paper is the unique source for the new material it contains. The book contains current research from international experts in the subject area, and presents open problems with directions for future research.
Topics in Mathematical Economics and Game Theory
Since the publication of "Theory of Games and Economic Behavior" by von Neumann and Morgenstern, the concept of games has played an increasing role in economics. It also plays a role of growing importance in other sciences, including biology, political science, and psychology. Many scientists have made seminal advances and continue to be leaders in the field, including Harsanyi, Shapley, Shubik, and Selten. Professor Robert Aumann, in addition to his important contributions to game theory and economics, made a number of significant contributions to mathematics. This volume provides a collection of essays in mathematical economics and game theory, including cutting-edge research on noncoopera...
Operator Algebras and Their Applications
The study of operator algebras, which grew out of von Neumann's work in the 1920s and the 1930s on modelling quantum mechanics, has in recent years experienced tremendous growth and vitality. This growth has resulted in significant applications in other areas - both within and outside mathematics. The field was a natural candidate for a 1994-1995 program year in Operator Algebras and Applications held at The Fields Institute for Research in the Mathematical Sciences. This volume contains a selection of papers that arose from the seminars and workshops of the program. Topics covered include the classification of amenable C*-algebras, the Baum-Connes conjecture, E[subscript 0] semigroups, subfactors, E-theory, quasicrystals, and the solution to a long-standing problem in operator theory: Can almost commuting self-adjoint matrices be approximated by commuting self-adjoint matrices?

The Langford Legacy
James Langford (ca. 1700-1777) was born in Maryland and moved to Johnston County, North Carolina. Ancestors and descendants also spelled the surname Langfitt and Lankford. Descendants lived in North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas and elsewhere.
