Semi-annual Workshop in Dynamical Systems and Related Topics

Fall 2003 Workshop October 23-26, Penn State University
Atherton Hotel, State College, PA

This is the 14th Penn State meeting in the series of regular meetings dedicated to recent results in the theory of smooth dynamical systems, ergodic theory, symbolic dynamics, topological dynamics, Hamiltonian mechanics and related areas in differential geometry, differential equations, Lie theory and partial differential equations, and is sponsored by Penn State and the University of Maryland. It is intended to provide a focus of activities and a meeting place primarily for mathematicians from the northeast region working in this field. We plan two major focuses this year.

	We plan to celebrate achievements of Sheldon Newhouse in connection with his recent sixtieth birthday. Saturday and Sunday are devoted to this celebration.

Recently there have been many new results on applications of dynamics, especially in billiards and number theory. We plan to have a special session on Friday on this topic.
