Theory and Numerics of Differential Equations

The Ninth EPSRC Numerical Analysis Summer School was held at the Uni­ versity of Durharn, UK, from the 10th to the 21st of July 2000. This was the first of these schools to be held in Durharn, having previously been hosted, initially by the University of Lancaster and latterly by the University of Leicester.
