These proceedings cover the lectures delivered at the Second
International Summer College on Physics and Contemporary Needs held
from June 20 - July 7, 1977 at Nathiagali, one of the scenic hill
resorts in the northern part of Pakistan. The college was organised
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 13 lecturers,
7 invited semi nar speakers and 134 participants from 26 countries
and consisted of 15 concentrated days of lectures, seminars-and
informal discu ssions. These proceedings contain only regular
lectures delivered there but. the seminars which were held are
listed in the Appendix. The theme of the college covered two
important aspects of science in general and physics in particular:
first to provide to the participants from developing countries some
of the excitement of what is happening at the frontiers of physics;
secondly as the name of the college emphasises it was to encourage
the physicists from developing countries to interest themselves in
and to use their knowledge and methodology of research for
attacking some of the problems faced by their respective countries.
The lectures delivered at the college covered a wide spectrum of
physics and indicated similarity of methodology used in various
branches of physics as well as practical applications of some of
the topics discussed."
