These proceedings cover the lectures delivered at the Third
International Summer College on Physics and Contemporary Needs held
from June 17 - July 5, 1978 at Nathiagali, one of the scenic hill
resorts in the northern part of Pakistan. The college was organized
by The Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) and co-sponsored by
the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste (ICTP).
It also received a financial grant by the University Grants
Commission for the participation of physicists from various
universities of Pakistan. The college was attended by 14 lecturers,
2 invited seminar speakers and 156 participants from 23 countries
and consisted of 15 concen trated days of lectures, seminars and
informal discussions. These proceedings contain only regular
lectures delivered there, but the seminars which were held there
are listed in the Appendix. This year the college put special
emphasis on energy, parti cularly on nuclear energy and its role in
the context of energy sys tems. However the lectures delivered at
the college also covered a wide spectrum of physics. The lectures
gave an overview of various topics covered at the college and
emphasized the inter-disciplinary aspects of physics. Some of the
lecturers also indicated the areas where research in developing
countries with limited facilities could be carried out. The college
had a definite objective of encouraging the physicists, part
cularly those working at the universities, to apply their knowledge
of physics and methodology of research to the needs of modern
society."
