Overview

When the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute was started in the Fall of 1982, one of the programs was ""non-linear partial differential equations"". A seminar was organized whose audience consisted of graduate students of the University and mature mathematicians who are not experts in the field. This volume contains 18 of these lectures. An effort is made to have an adequate Bibliography for further information. The Editor wishes to take this opportunity to thank all the speakers and the authors of the articles presented in this volume for their cooperation. S. S.
