Book excerpt: This volume constitutes the proceedings of the International Conference on Dynamical Systems in Honor of Prof. Liao Shantao (1920-97). The Third World Academy of Sciences awarded the first ever mathematics prize in 1985 to Prof. Liao in recognition of his foundational work in differentiable dynamical systems and his work in periodic transformation of spheres. The conference was held in Beijing in August 1998. There were about 90 participants, and nearly 60 talks were delivered.The topics covered include differentiable dynamics, topological dynamics, hamiltonian dynamics, complex dynamics, ergodic and stochastic dynamics, and fractals theory. Dynamical systems is a field with many difficult problems, and techniques are being developed to deal with those problems. This volume contains original studies of great mathematical depth and presents some of the fascinating numerical experiments.
