International School on Mathematical and Theoretical Crystallography
First MaThCryst School in Latin America
The University of Havana, Cuba
15-20 July 2007The IUCr-MaThCryst commission, in cooperation with the IUCr Commission on Crystallographic Teaching (CTC) and with the IUCr Commission on Inorganic and Mineral Structures (CIMS), has organised an International School on Mathematical and Theoretical Crystallography at the The school was held at the Universidad de la Habana Cuba.
