Description

"Solitons were discovered by John Scott Russel in 1834 and have intrigued scientists and mathematicians ever since. They have been the subject of a large body of research not only in mathematics and physics, but also engineering, biology, and other disciplines.". "This volume comprises the presentations at an interdisciplinary workshop held at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. It includes chapters on mathematical and numerical aspects of solitons, recent developments in string theory, and applications of solitons in such areas as nuclear and particle physics, cosmology, and condensed-matter physics."--BOOK JACKET.
