The A. A. Dorodnicyn Computing Center of RAS, Moscow State Aviation Institute, Moscow State University will organize Fifth International Symposium on the theoretical and applied problems of the classical and celestial mechanics. Symposium has been become as a traditional meeting of mechanicians working in different fields of science and industry. You have a fortunate opportunity to discuss your problems among your former and new friends. Fields of participants interests: dynamical systems, stability and bifurcation theory, chaos, perturbation theory, theory of periodic motions, three-body and N-body problems, dynamics of rigid and flexible body, orbital and attitude dynamics, modeling and simulation of dynamics.
