International School on Fundamental Crystallography 2014

International School on Fundamental Crystallography

Fourth MaThCryst school in Latin America

La Plata, Argentina, 27 April - 10 May 2014
The Commission on Mathematical and Theoretical Crystallography is strongly committed to promote education in all the fundamental aspects of crystallography that nowadays are overlooked in common University courses. This mission is accomplished through a series of meetings in a wide range of regions. In spring 2014 we organize a school in Argentina, in continuation of our activity in the region after the previous shools in Havana, in Montevideo and in in Uberlândia.

Pre-requisites

The participants are expected to know basic matrix algebra (how to multiply matrices and vectors, how to calculate determinant and trace of a matrix), fundamental electromagnetism (waves, diffraction) and basic chemistry.
Note: There will be an introductory a one day preparatory session for students that need some help to comply with the prerequisites on Sunday April 27.
