This Teubner-Text contains selected contributions to the "10th Conference on
Problems and Methods in Mathematical Physics (10th TMP)", held at the
Technical University of Chemnitz-Zwickau in Chemnitz, Germany, September
13 - 17, 1993. The main topics of the conference were
Scientific Computing in Solid and Fluid Mechanics
Problems with Singularities
Boundary Integral Methods
Multilevel Finite Element Methods
Free Boundary Value Problems and Optimal Control
Numerical Functional Analysis.
The conference brought together more than 170 experts from 17 countries, and
the 18 plenary and invited lectures as well as the 120 short lectures were devoted
to plenty of problems and latest results in applied mathematical research.
Undoubtedly, the majority of these contributions would have deserved publication.
However, this volume does not intend to reflect the whole scientific
contents of the conference in the usual form of proceedings. It is rather aiming
at giving a survey of some recent trends in fields covered by the topics of this
meeting. The organizing committee hopes that this Teubner-Text reflects the
main spirit of the 10th TMP.
