Subject: A poetic apology in pathetic apogee

I tried to come up with a mathematical poem to liven up this
week's NA Digest, but sadly was unable to do so. The math
just didn't work out. Please accept my humble apology:

I'm not a poet laureate,
just a poet overrate.
True poets speak in words that flow ;
all I get is underflow.
True poets write with elegance,
my poetic math gives Inf's.
True literature inspires Man,
my poem over zero's NaN.
This poem's float' IEEE,
critics all cry out "Ai-Eee!"

Subject: New Book: Computational Science and Engineering by Gilbert Strang

COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
A new text and reference book by Gilbert Strang, gs@math.mit.edu
Published by Wellesley-Cambridge Press and also available from SIAM

ISBN 0961408812 (700 pages) October 2007 www.wellesleycambridge.com
Detailed contents on http://math.mit.edu/cse. Two sections in full:
1.1 Four Special Matrices and 4.1 Fourier Series are on those sites

This is the new textbook for MIT's courses 18.085-6 on Computational
Science and Engineering. The book integrates analysis and algorithms
and codes, to explain each topic as effectively as possible -- it is
"solution-based" instead of "formula-based". This is how we learn.

CSE is a big subject and this book offers more than a single course.
The book is also a reference for the whole community of computational
scientists and engineers. Please look at the contents, and the book.

Subject: New Book: Elasticity & Mathematica Textbook

Elasticity with Mathematica

Andrei Constantinescu
CNRS, Ecole Polytechnique, Palaiseau

Alexander Korsunsky
University of Oxford

http://www.cambridge.org/9780521842013

This book introduces to the key ideas and principles in the theory of
elasticity with the help of symbolic computation. Differential and
integral operators on vector and tensor fields of displacements, strains
and stresses are considered on a consistent and rigorous basis with
respect to curvilinear orthogonal coordinate systems. As a consequence,
vector and tensor objects can be manipulated readily, and fundamental
concepts can be illustrated and problems solved with ease. The method is
illustrated using a variety of plane and three-dimensional elastic
problems. General theorems, fundamental solutions, displacements and
stress potentials are presented and discussed. The Rayleigh-Ritz method
for obtaining approximate solutions is introduced for elastostatic and
spectral analysis problems. The book contains more than 60 exercises and
solutions in the form of Mathematica notebooks that accompany every
chapter. Once the reader learns and masters the techniques, they can be
applied to a large range of practical and fundamental problems.

Subject: "UNEASY RELATIONS" - the poetry of computational mathematics

"UNEASY RELATIONS" - the poetry of computational mathematics

Uneasy Relations is a short collection of poems by Mike Bartholomew-Biggs
of the University of Hertfordshire. The poems play with ideas from
numerical analysis - but non-specialists may choose to murmur them as
zen-like meditations. The poems do not confine themselves narrowly to
mathematical themes, however, but touch upon myth and fable, astronomy, the
arts of prediction and preventive maintenance, entomology, hill-walking,
financial portfolio theory and the works of Edgar Allan Poe. There is also
a hint of sexual politics.

EQUALITY CONSTRAINTS
To walk a tightrope
is hard. So how much harder
to walk several?

Spiders manage it
spinning sticky contour plots
which aren’t safety nets.

Uneasy Relations can be ordered at £3 (plus 50p p&p) from: Hearing Eye, Box

for readers in the UK ...)

Brian Ford, Rolf Jeltsch, Herbert Keller, James Lyness, Robert J. Plemmons,
Mike Powell, Gerhard Wanner, Alistair Watson.

Subject: Post-doc position at Purdue in computational molecular biophysics

A post-doctoral associate position in computational molecular
biophysics is available at Purdue University starting January
1st, 2008, though a later start date is possible. The position
requires a PhD degree in science or engineering and experience
and skills in computational science (preferably with some exposure
to molecular simulation).

The candidate is expected to contribute to a project on finding
transition paths of conformational change and binding and
calculating free energies of binding. They will work with Robert
Skeel, Computer Science (and Mathematics), in collaboration with
Carol Post, Medicinal Chemistry (and Biology).

More specifically, the work will involve one or two of the following
problems: devise a robust and efficient method for converging to a
generalized minimum free energy path, investigate automated selection
of collective variables, and develop practical methods for
calculating binding free energies. Emphasis is on techniques that
are practical for larger molecules (and are easy to parallelize).

opportunity for extension up to the end of 2011. The salary is
according to German TV-L group 13.

The main task is data assimilation/parameter optimization in nonlinear
geobiochemichal models for the ocean. Aim is to study the C02 uptake
of the ocean. These models are nonlinear transport equations that are
coupled to global ocean circulation models (Navier-Stokes equations).
For this purpose, either mathematical techniques of optimal control of
PDEs or more algorithmic-oriented approaches as Automatic
Differentiation of computer programs shall be applied. The successful
candidate owns a PhD in a discipline relevant to the project and has
experience in at least one of the following areas:

- Optimal control of PDEs
- Nonlinear optimization
- Data assimilation/Parameter optimization
- Algorithmic/Automatic Differentiation
- Simulation of geobiochemical processes or ocean circulation

Programming skills in Fortran or another comparable language are required.
