Subject: Happy Birthday Germund and Ake

January 17, 2005 was a day of celebration in Stockholm.
A quiet gathering entitled "53 years of Numerical Instability"
took place at KTH to honor the 80th and 70th birthdays of
Professors Germund Dahlquist and Åke Björck.

Guest speaker Gene Golub gave an entertaining lecture on
"A history of Numerical Linear Algebra, with a special view of
the impact of Åke and Germund". The audience then sang a version
of "Come, all ye faithful" arranged by poet and long time graduate
student Henrik Eriksson whose verse spoke of Germund and Åke and
some other venerable characters Gollum, Gandalf and Sauron
(who helped round out the Ring of the Lords).

Hosts Axel Ruhe and Gunlaug Ostbye then treated a group of
guests to a fine dinner with Åke and Eva at Källaren Diana,
near the Royal Palace.

It was a delightful occasion for all present.
Happy Birthdays Germund and Åke!

Gene Golub, Walter Gander and Michael Saunders

Subject: Re: Happy Birthday Germund and Ake

Dear Friends
We choose the theme as a continuation of some previous celebrations.
Germund Dahlquist gave a talk at a GAMM meeting in Freiburg am Breisgau
28-31 March 1951, where he demonstrated the weak instability of the
explicit mid point rule. That talk was published in ZAMM Vol 31:8 Aug
Sept 1951 pp 239-240.
So 53 is a slight underestimate of the time spent on instability, but
should be accurate enough for celebration purposes!
Best regards and thank you for coming to Stockholm,

Axel Ruhe

Subject: New Book, Practical Linear Algebra

Practical Linear Algebra: A Geometry Toolbox
Gerald Farin, Dianne Hansford

Practical Linear Algebra -- A Geometry Toolbox forms the basis
of a first year course in Linear Algebra for non-math majors such
as engineers and computer scientists. In addition, this book
provides a solid foundation for work in computer graphics and
computer aided design.

The authors emphasize a geometric and intuitive approach that
relies heavily on examples and illustrations rather than the rigorous
theorem-proof format used in standard texts.

Special features include:
- 250 figures which are also available in electronic form
- 150 numerical examples
- 200 problems---many solutions are in the text and additional
problems are on a password-protected instructor's website
- supplementary materials for instructors
- a "WYSK" (What You Should Know) section closes each chapter,
providing a concise chapter summary which highlights the most
important points, giving students focus for their approach to learning.

December 2004; 394 pages; Hardcover; ISBN 1-56881-234-5; Price $67.00

Subject: SIAM Membership in Developing Countries

SIAM membership in developing countries

SIAM offers an affordable membership option for individuals who live and
work in developing countries. This category of membership, called "outreach
membership," was created to help make SIAM products and services accessible
to a wider and more global group of applied and computational
mathematicians. This is a great alternative for individuals who reside in
developing countries who cannot afford the full SIAM dues. For just $10 per
year, eligible individuals receive many member benefits.

Outreach members receive all print issues of SIAM News and electronic-only
access to SIAM Review. They can join any of the SIAM Activity Groups at $10
per group, are entitled to 30% off list prices on all SIAM books, and
receive member discounted registration at SIAM sponsored meetings. No
additional journal subscriptions at membership rates are available as part
of the outreach membership.

Outreach membership is not based on country of citizenship, but on current
country of residence. The list of developing countries that qualify for
Outreach Membership can be found at
http://www.siam.org/membership/outreach_list.htm.

For more information go to
http://www.siam.org/membership/outreachdesc.htm. You can join online at
http://www.siam.org/cust_serv or download an application at
http://www.siam.org/membership/outreach_2005.pdf.

If you have any questions about Outreach Membership, contact

technology is particularly appropriate. The prize may be awarded for a
single notable achievement or for a collection of such achievements.

Description of the Award

The award will consist of a hand-calligraphed, framed certificate and a
cash award of $5,000. SIAM will reimburse reasonable travel expenses for
the recipient to attend the award ceremony.

CASC'2005
The 8th International Workshop
on Computer Algebra in Scientific Computing
September 12-16 2005, Kalamata, Greece
http://www.cargo.wlu.ca/casc2005/
First Announcement and Call for Papers

The 8th International Workshop in Computer Algebra in Scientific
Computing, CASC'2005, will be held in the city of Kalamata, Greece, in
September 12-16, 2005.

The methods of Scientific Computing play an important role in research and
engineering applications in the natural and the engineering sciences. The
significance and impact of computer algebra methods and computer algebra
systems for scientific computing has increased considerably in recent
times. Nowadays, such general-purpose computer algebra systems as Maple,
Magma, Mathematica, MuPAD, Singular, CoCoA and others enable their users
to solve the following three important tasks within a uniform framework:
(a) symbolic manipulation
(b) numerical computation
(c) visualization
The ongoing development of such systems, including their integration and
adaptation to modern software environments, puts them to the forefront in
scientific computing and enables the practical solution of many complex
applied problems in the domains of natural sciences and engineering.

computational mathematics, computational physics, computational biology,
chemistry, etc., to explore the frontiers of applying supercomputing to life
and physical sciences and engineering.

The program format of each site was thought to be different. The meeting in
China (August 2004, http://www.nku-isc.org) was solely based on the invited
talks. The one in Istanbul is divided into two: Half day for the invited
talks (plenary sessions) and half day for the parallel sessions.

The general topics are but not limited to:
Computer Science (Parallel, grid computing, data mining, geometric modeling,...)
Computational Science (Biology, chemistry, physics, earth science, ...)
Computational Engineering
Computational Mathematics (CFD, MD ...)
Computational Finance (database, ...)
