Subject: Oved Shisha Injury

Dear Colleaques
Professor Oved Shisha of the University of Rhode Island was injured
in a traffic accident very seriously last Friday evening March 31-95
in Providence.As he was getting off the bus he was struck by a car.
Since then he is unconcious in a coma in the R.I.hospital in
Providence R.I.His situation is listed as very critical.

Let us everybody pray for him to survive. Oved had another bad accident
30 something years ago in Dayton Ohio and that time survived. I pray
that this happens again.

Professor Shisha is the main organiser of "Approximation Theory"in
the west as a separate field with his creation of "J.Approx.Th."
in 1968. He was also the founder of several subareas of A.T such as
"monotone approximation","Korovkin inequalities" etc,also he did
important work in integration theory.

If I have more news I let you know.

Sincerely yours
George Anastassiou
Professor of Mathematics
Univ.Memphis,Memphis,TN,USA

Subject: Svata Poljak

This message is to inform the community of the very sad news that Svata
Poljak was involved in a fatal car accident.
This occurred near Prague on Sunday April 2, 1995.

Svata recently relocated to University of Passau, in Passau, Germany.
(URL: http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/~poljak/papers.html )
His main contributions are in combinatorics and combinatorial optimization.
He has important contributions in many areas including:
theory of matroids, matching theory, the max-cut and stable set problem;
spectral approaches to graph problems;
convex and polyhedral relaxations; semidefinite programming;
and various other integer programming related problems.
His early important work was related to systems in neural networks.

He has collaborated with many people. In particular, we can state from
personal experience that he was a rare person to collaborate
with, because of his exceptional
mathematical ability as well as his warm friendship.
The upcoming special issue in Mathematical Programming on Semidefinite
Programming will be devoted to his memory.

He is survived by his wife and two sons.
The funeral is in Prague this coming Monday.
Those wishing to send condolences to his wife Jana can do so at the
address in Prague:

Subject: Bau & Trefethen Linear Algebra Book

BAU AND TREFETHEN TEXT, "NUMERICAL LINEAR ALGEBRA"

We are in the process of completing a graduate textbook on
Numerical Linear Algebra. Our aims are beauty, depth of insight,
and brevity. The book is split into about 36 lectures, each
about 6 pages long. It is based on the course Trefethen has
taught repeatedly at MIT and Cornell during the past ten years.

We expect that it is likely the book will be published by SIAM
in 1996. Meanwhile, a preliminary version (not yet including
exercises) may be made available in summer 1995 for a few
people who wish to use the book in a course in fall 1995.
If you might be interested in this possibility, please take a
look at the table of contents and sample chapters available at
http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Info/People/lnt/lnt.html. Then please
contact us if you need further information.

Subject: Cerfacs International Linear Algebra Year

CERFACS INTERNATIONAL LINEAR ALGEGRA YEAR

First, please accept our apologies if you have been waiting for further
information about the International Linear Algebra at CERFACS.
The reason for this delay is that we wanted to ensure that our funding was
secure before sending this broadcast.

The good news is that it is. The bad news is that in order to secure funding
we have had to move the Linear Algebra Year by about six months. The new
dates for Workshops are:

1995
September 26-29 Direct methods
October 17-20 Eigenvalues and beyond

1996
April 22-25 Optimization and linear algebra
June 11-14 Iterative methods

The two workshops in 1995 will be held at the UNESCO Centre in Toulouse.

Each three-day workshop will be preceded by a tutorial or industrially
oriented first day. Because of support, we are able to keep
the cost to 1500 FFR (for registration, documentation, lunches, teas and
coffees) for the three-day workshop and tutorial, with a reduction to
1000 FFR for full-time students, and a fee of 3000 FFR for non-academics.
Living costs in the Toulouse region are quite low, normally about
250FFR per day for bed, breakfast and evening meal. Reduced price
accommodation is available at UNESCO.

A list of speakers for the first two workshops is appended.

We are still planning a visitor programme during the year, both for people
who want to extend their workshop stay and for those who want to spend
a longer time with us during the year. Unfortunately, we have a finite
amount of space for visitors so there may be some competition for
spaces. It would help therefore if you could let us know as soon as
possible when you would like to come, for how long, and what kind of work you
hope to pursue during your visit to CERFACS.

Registrations forms, requests for visits, up-to-date information
on the Workshops and the Year can be found on the WWW page:

http://www.cerfacs.fr/~wlay/LAY/lay.html

For those of you who have trouble accessing WWW, requests for further
information should be made to wlay@cerfacs.fr.
