Approach your problems from the right end It isn't that they can't
see the solution. It is and begin with the answers. Then one day,
that they can't see the problem. perbaps you will find the final
question. G. K. Chesterton. The Scandal of Father 'The Hermit Clad
in Crane Feathers' in R. Brown 'The point of a Pin'. van GuIik's
The Chinese Maze Murders. Growing specialization and
diversification have brought a host of monographs and textbooks on
increasingly specialized topics. However, the "tree" of knowledge
of mathematics and related fields does not grow only by putting
forth new branches. It also happens, quite often in fact, that
branches which were thought to be completely disparate are suddenly
seen to be related. Further, the kind and level of sophistication
of mathematics applied in various sciences has changed drastically
in recent years: measure theory is used (non-trivially) in regional
and theoretical economics; algebraic geometry interacts with
physics; the Minkowsky lemma, coding theory and the structure of
water meet one another in packing and covering theory; quantum
fields, crystal defects and mathematical programming profit from
homotopy theory; Lie algebras are relevant to filtering; and
prediction and electrical engineering can use Stein spaces. And in
addition to this there are such new emerging subdisciplines as
"experimental mathematics," "CFD," "completely integrable systems,"
"chaos, synergetics and large-scale order," which are almost
impossible to fit into the existing classification schemes. They
draw upon widely different sections of mathematics.
We present here a selection of the seminars given at the Second
International Workshop on Instabilities and Nonequilibrium
Structures in Valparaiso, Chile, in December 1987. The Workshop was
organized by Facultad de Ciencias Fisicas y Matematicas of
Universidad de Chile and by Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa
Maria where it took place. This periodic meeting takes place every
two years in Chile and aims to contribute to the efforts of Latin
America towards the development of scientific research. This
development is certainly a necessary condition for progress in our
countries and we thank our lecturers for their warm collaboration
to fulfill this need. We are also very much indebted to the Chilean
Academy of Sciences for sponsoring officially this Workshop. We
thank also our sponsors and supporters for their valuable help, and
most especially the Scientific Cooperation Program of France,
UNESCO, Ministerio de Educaci6n of Chile and Fundaci6n Andes. We
are grateful to Professor Michiel Hazewinkel for including this
book in his series and to Dr. David Larner of Kluwer for his
continuous interest and support to this project.
