Abstract:
The Conference on 'Mathematical Methods in Physics, was held at Mysore from 28th to 31st August 1978. The third day of the conference was devoted to Differential Equations - theory, methods and applications.
The conference evoked tremendous response from the scientific community in India, and due to budget limitations only 42 participants were invited to the conference from all over the country.
Due to the large number of papers presented it was found appropriate to publish the proceedings into two parts:
PARTA : Theoretical Physics,
PARTB : Differential Equations.
Professor Alladi Ramakrishnan, Director, Matscience introduced a new concept called 'Activity in evolutionary stochastic processes and gave a conjecture regarding its behaviour as time evolves. He also stressed the importance of such conferences
where novel mathematical techniques could be discussed in dealing with current problems.
