Working Seminar: Dynamics and its Working Tools, FALL 2005  

The format will be mixed featuring both series of talks by guest speakers and presentations by the participants. The emphasis will be on learning appropriate techniques and discussing their recent and potential applications with only general overviews of proofs of results from adjacent fields. (Last year's program)
