Powering Discovery examines successful international practices for supporting natural sciences and engineering research and how some of these could be applied in Canada. The report explores approaches for supporting researchers and a wide spectrum of research. It also sheds light on promising and novel approaches for increasing funding efficiency and promoting and measuring impact.

The year 1986 marked the sesquicentennial of the publication in 1836 of J Sturm's memoir on boundary value problems for second order equations. In July 1986, the Canadian Mathematical Society sponsored the International Conference on Oscillation, Bifurcation and Chaos. This volume contains the proceedings of this conference.

Covers a cross-section of the developments in modern algebraic geometry. This work covers topics including algebraic groups and representation theory, enumerative geometry, Schubert varieties, rationality, compactifications and surfaces.

The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council is the federal agency directly responsible for supporting university research and for assisting in the provision and training of researchers in the natural sciences and engineering. This document addresses NSERC's strategy to meet Canada's increased need for highly qualified personnel and to enable Canada's universities to strengthen their role in the production and diffusion of knowledge.

Suitable for researchers and advanced graduate students in mathematical physics, this book constitutes the proceedings of a conference on mathematical quantum field theory and related topics. The conference was held at the Centre de Recherches Matheematiques of the Universite de Montreal in September 1987.
