Research group:
Geometry of Mechanics
19 - 26 June, 2011, Warsaw
The research group was devoted to summing up the recent investigations in the area of geometric methods for describing the mechanical systems for systems with constraints and classical fields.
It has preceded the conference Geometry of Manifolds and Mathematical Physics, Krakow 27th June 2011 - 1st July 2011, to celebrate the 80th birthday of Włodzimierz Tulczyjew
