Publisher's Synopsis
The 9th International Symposium "Frontiers of Fundamental and Computational Physics", held in Udine and Trieste, Italy from 7-9 January 2008, aimed at providing a platform for a wide range of physicists to meet and share thoughts on the latest trends in various, mainly cross-disciplinary, research areas. This includes the exploration of frontier lines in High Energy Physics, Theoretical Physics, Gravitation and Cosmology, Astrophysics, Condensed Matter Physics, and Fluid Mechanics. Such frontier lines were unified by the use of computers as an, often primary, research instrument, or dealing with issues related to information theory. These proceedings contain contributions by Nobel Laureates D.D. Osheroff, H. Hroto, and A. Leggett, and concludes with a chapter on new approaches to Physics Teaching.
