WORKSHOP: International Colloquium on Group-Theoretical Methods in Physics

对称性在科学和艺术中扮演着重要的角色，群论为对称性的研究提供了一个数学框架。物理群论方法国际学术讨论会(ICGTMP)是物理学家和数学家的聚会场所，他们在工作中使用基于几何和对称的数学和数值方法。研讨会将于2010年7月26日至30日在纽卡斯尔举行，由诺森比亚大学和达勒姆大学联合举办。此次活动的目的是扩大和多样化基于几何和对称的数学和数值方法，通过它们在生物科学、物理科学、量子信息、非线性和复杂性方面的应用。研讨会将侧重于研究的新方向，并鼓励跨学科研究和合作。

Symmetry plays an important role in sciences and art and group theory provides a mathematical framework for the studies of symmetries. The International Colloquium on Group-Theoretical Methods in Physics (ICGTMP) is a meeting place for physicists and mathematicians who use mathematical and numerical methods based on geometry and symmetry in their work. The Colloquium will take place in Newcastle from 26-30 July 2010 and is organised jointly by Northumbria University and Durham University.The aim of the event is to broaden and diversify the mathematical and numerical methods based on geometry and symmetry further through their applications to biosciences, physical sciences, quantum information, nonlinearity and complexity. The workshop will focus on new directions of research and stimulate interdisciplinary research and collaborations.
