FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

The Workshop on Geometric Methods in Physics has become one of the widely recognized regular activities in the field of mathematical physics and applied mathematics. It has been organized every year since 1981 and grew from local regional meeting to its present international form, attracting leading physicists and mathematicians from all over the world.
The program will consist of invited lectures, often of a review character, as well as of specialized contributed talks.

PLACE AND TIME

The Workshop of 2002 will take place in its home venue in the very heart of the woods of Bia這wie瘸 National Park - the site of great natural beauty. Arrival date will be Saturday, June 29-th. The scientific activity will run from Sunday June 30-th till Saturday July 6-th and will end up with Magic Kupa豉 Night (6/7-th of July). There will be a special bus service from Warsaw to Bia這wie瘸 and back, on 29-th of June and on 7-th of July respectively, for the participants of the conference.

TOPICS & FRAMES

The topics cover, as usually, the wide areas of mathematical physics, and pure mathematics inspired by physical problems. The conference gives good opportunity to exchange the ideas between physicists and mathematicians. The specific subjects of XXI Workshop include: quantum optics, coherent states, symplectic and Poisson geometry, operator algebras and quantum groups, integrable systems, fluid dynamics.
