The International School in Nonlinear Science was organized for active researchers
and students from Russia and other countries and was held in Nizhny Novgorod
from September 5, 1995 through September 16, 1995, This school followed in the
long tradition of the schools organized by the Institute of Applied Physics RAS in
Gorky (Nizhny Novgorod) frpm 1972 to 1989. These schools were called "Schools
on Nonlinear Physics". This is by no means accidental. Even at our first schools
held in 1972 and 1973, general problems and methods in the theory of nonlinear
oscillations and waves were discussed including various nonlinear phenomena in
plasma and solid state physics, as well as in astrophysics, chemical kinetics, biology
and other branches of natural science. In such a way these schools were "Schools of
Nonlinear Sciences". Indeed, during the last seven or ten years the term nonlinear
science has become rather popular in the English-speaking countries. Under this
"slogan" a number of international meetings have been held, many collected papers
have been published, and some new journaJs have appeared. In general, nonlinear
phenomena in various areas of fundamental science and applications are of great
interest and draw more and more attention.
