Vladimir Arnol'd will be 60 in 1997 and The Fields Institute will celebrate the occasion by hosting a conference along the lines of his research interests. These interests include singularity theory, bifurcation theory, mechanics (KAM theory, averaging, normal forms, geometric mechanics, symmetry), wave front sets, Coxeter groups, fluid mechanics and aperiodic order as well as the history of these subjects.

In addition to talks by the main speakers, V. Arnol'd will give three one-hour lectures as a Fields Institute Distinguished Lecturer, and, to allow participants and students an opportunity to present their results, a poster session.
