Description:For the five days August 1-5, 2005 about 240 mathematicians from almost 40 countries attended the conference on Differential Equations and Applications at the Florida Institute of Technology (FIT), Melbourne, Florida. The main objective of the conference was to promote, encourage, cooperate, and bri
