This is the second iteration of Rutgers Symplectic Summer School (RSSS), which aims at providing graduate students and advanced undergraduate students tutorials in various advanced topics in symplectic geometry and introductions to recent developments. This year we focus on, but are not restricted to, theories and applications of Lagrangian Floer theories, including Fukaya categories, Floer theory in low-dimensional topology, contact geometry, and Hamiltonian dynamics etc.
