The aim of this two-day workshop is to explore the underlying geometric theme that is common to these diverse disciplines. The workshop will consist of a number of invited contributions of a tutorial nature covering the different topics, contributed papers from participants and discussion sessions that explore the connections. Contributions will be published by Kluwer in an edited volume. The workshop is sponsored by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and London Mathematical Society (LMS). The total number of participants is limited to 70. The workshop is sponsored by the London Mathematical Society and Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.
