Purpose: This meeting looks back to the 1968 AMS Summer Mathematics Institute on Global Analysis. The 1968 meeting was dominated by Smale's lectures on hyperbolic systems, and was a major event in shaping the modern developments of dynamical systems. The 1998 meeting will explore the impact of these lectures on the last 30 years in dynamical systems.

Program: This four day conference will mainly consist of hour lectures, but some sessions for shorter contributed papers will be included. Many of the original participants will be plenary speakers. A social event is planned.

Funding: This conference is funded by grants from the Taft Foundation and the National Science Foundation.
