Subject: Abstracts Due for SIAM Discrete Math Meeting

Dear Colleague:

Just a reminder.  If you have not yet submitted your 100-word abstract for the
Conference on Discrete Mathematics, which will take place on June 8-11, 1992
at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada,  please do so now.
The deadline for submission is November 15. You can submit your abstract by
fax to  215-386-7999, attention Conference Department, or you can also submit
it electronically, by plain txt or by LaTEX macros.
Sending it by FAX would be much faster.

We look forward to your participation in the conference.  Many thanks.

Subject: C++ Codes for Range Arithmetic Available

A collection of C++ source code routines for generating precise computation
programs based on range arithmetic (a variant of interval arithmetic) is
available through anonymous FTP at math.tamu.edu. It includes
ready-to-compile code for solving many of the standard problems of
numerical analysis as well as facilities for writing one's own precise
computation programs. Included also is a file `describe.tex' (to be
processed by TEX) which contains a five page user's guide to the module.
The authors of the package are Oliver Aberth (Texas A&M University) and
Mark J. Schaefer (Virginia Military Institute).

For those not familiar with anonymous ftp, the procedure is as follows.

1. ftp math.tamu.edu

2. Enter ``anonymous'' as the name and your login as the password.

3. There is a file called README with information on where to find the C++
programs. The remaining steps here are taken from that file. 

  a. Change to the appropriate directory: cd pub/range

  b. Set the transfer mode to binary (compressed files).
     Example: type binary

  c. Get the file: ``get range.tar.Z''

  d. Exit ftp. ``quit'' 

  e. On your local system, uncompress and un-tar the file.
     Example: uncompress range.tar
              tar xf range.tar

Subject: Bay Area NA Day at Berkeley

                 BAY AREA NA DAY at BERKELEY
                 Saturday, November 16, 1991

There will be a Bay Area NA Day in Berkeley on Sat, Nov 16.  This day
is an opportunity to meet colleagues and students (and also visitors)
in the Bay area.

The meeting will be held in the Genetics and Plant Biology Building
Room 100.  There will be coffee at 9:45 and the first talk at 10:10am.
Lunch will be available at the many nearby restaurants.  The last talk
ends at 4:30 followed by dinner at King Tsin restaurant at 6:30. (Dinner
will cost around $20 to be collected on Nov 16.) 

The scheduled talks include:

Rick Fierro, UC San Diego
  "Collinearity and Total Least Squares"
Anmin Qi,  Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory
  "The Three-Dimensional Multi-Scale Vortex Method and its Applications"
Noel M. Nachtigal, RIACS/NASA Ames Research Center
  "The Quasi-Minimal Residual Algorithm for Non-Hermitian Linear Systems"
Gerhard Starke (with R. Varga), Institut fuer Praktische Mathematik,
  Universitaet Karlsruhe, Germany
  "A Hybrid Arnoldi-Faber Iterative Method for Nonsymmetric Systems of
  Linear Equations"
Frederic L Chalot, Stanford 
  "Symmetrization of Conservation Laws with Entropy for
   High-Temperature Hypersonic Computations"
Vince Fernando (with B.  Parlett), NAG
  Title to be announced.
Rick Pember, LLNL
  "A Conservative Mesh Algorithm for Inviscid Compressible Flow"
Hongyuan Zha, Stanford
  Title to be announced.
Alan Edelman (with J. Demmel), UCB
  "The Geometry of Algorithms for the Jordan and Kronecker Forms"

Driving and Parking Directions: Take Route 80 to University Avenue and then
University Avenue east until campus (this is Oxford street).
November 16 is a football Saturday so parking may be tight, best bet
is to car pool and allow time.  Inquire at the campus gate where general
parking is available (cost is $6).  Tell them you would like to be close to the
corner of Hearst and Oxford. Information (maybe even a map of campus) is
available during the week form the University Parking Services
at 510-642-4283.

Genetics and Plant Biology Building Directions: Walk up the stairs
(A kind of X marks the spot) on the campus side of Oxford Street
between Berkeley Way and Hearst (just to the left of a driveway).
The GPB Building room 100 is at the top of the steps.

King Tsin Restaurant Directions:  1699 Solano Avenue, Berkeley.
The easy, but long way is to go back to route 80 and go further
north to the Solano Avenue exit.  The direct way is north on
Shattuck Avenue under a kind of tunnel and then straight towards
Solano.

Subject: Workshop in Winnipeg on Matrix Computations and Applications

WORKSHOP  ON  MATRIX  COMPUTATION  AND  APPLICATIONS
Institute  of  Industrial  Mathematical  Sciences
University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba
December 9 - 10, 1991

The Institute will hold a Workshop on the state-of-the-art in
"Matrix Computation and Applications" on December 9 and 10,
1991.  The workshop is designed to suit the needs of
university, business, industrial and other users of
computational methods for solving large problems.  The main
workshop leaders are Professor D. Sorensen (Rice University)
and Professor P. Smith (IMSL, Texas).  Dr. Sorensen will
discuss basic notions of architectures in high performance
computers, block algorithms for dense linear algebra
computations, LAPACK, iterative methods for very large
(sparse) eigenvalue problems and linear systems.  Dr. Smith
will give an overview of software currently available and
will also discuss some specific individual packages.  There
will be brief presentations by researchers at the University
of Manitoba (P. W. Aitchison, L. M. Ayari and P. N.
Shivakumar) on their industrially related work.  A round
table discussion on interaction between university and
industry is planned.  There will be ample opportunity for
interaction between participants and the workshop leaders.
The workshop will include one short course on techniques of
matrix computation and a second short course on software
packages and their implementation.  The courses are expected
to emphasize applicability and usefulness and focus less on
actual theory of matrix computation, thus making the workshop
useful to experts and non-experts alike.  The workshop is
expected to be especially useful to industry and graduate
students as well as faculty.

[Note:  The Institute of Mathematics and its Applications at
the University of Minnesota will cover 50% of the travel and
local living expenses for visitors from the IMA Participating
Institutions (PI's) who wish to attend the Workshop.  Other
sources of support for travel and expenses are the PI funds
administered by the heads of the mathematics departments of
the PI's.]

                     Tenure Track Positions

The Department of Mathematics at Southern Methodist University invites
applications for one senior and one junior level tenure track position,
with employment beginning in Fall 1992. The department is unusual in its
emphasis on two areas: physical applied mathematics, and numerical
analysis and scientific computation; thirteen of the sixteen faculty are
applied or numerical mathematicians.

Applicants must be active researchers, must have a strong commitment to
undergraduate teaching and must be able to teach advanced courses in at
least one area in the doctoral program in applied or numerical
mathematics. The standard teaching load is two courses (six hours) per
semester. Applicants for the senior position should have a superior
research record in physical applied mathematics and experience supervising
doctoral dissertations. A strong grant record is desirable. Applicants for
the junior position must be active in numerical analysis research. For
both positions, the applicant's research areas should be related to the
major current interests of the department: asymptotic and perturbation
methods, bifurcation theory, combustion theory, fluid mechanics,
mathematical biology, mathematical software, nonlinear dynamical systems,
nonlinear waves and the numerical analysis of differential equations.
Senior faculty and their major research interests include W.E. Ferguson
(numerical partial differential equations), I. Gladwell (mathematical
software), R. Haberman (nonlinear waves), G.W. Reddien (numerical
bifurcation theory), D.A. Reinelt (fluid mechanics), and L.F. Shampine
(numerical ordinary differential equations). Southern Methodist University
has a 20 processor Sequent Symmetry for research use.

The application deadline is January 15, 1992. Send a letter of
application and a vita to:

Professor I. Gladwell
Chairman, Department of Mathematics
Southern Methodist University
Dallas, TX 75275
(Tel: (214) 692-2506)

Applicants for the junior position should arrange for three letters of
recommendation to be sent directly to Professor Gladwell.
