Dynamical Systems with Symmetry (Part 1 of 2)
During the past several years the relationship between patterns seen in experiments and the dynamics of systems of differential equations with symmetries has been explored. In this minisymposium, the speakers will present some of the recent developments in the theory and application of dynamical systems with symmetry and discuss the connection with pattern formation. (For part 2, see MS55.)
