Subject: Old Journals Available

I desperately need to get rid of some old journals. These include SIAM Jr.
on Applied Math, SIAM Jr. on Numerical Analysis, SIAM Review, Comm. of ACM,
ACM Journal, Computing Reviews, Math. of Comp., Notices and Bulletin of AMS,
etc., etc. Is there anyone out there who has need or knows of anyone who has
need or can use any of these? My alternative is to discard them.

Subject: Textbook Suggestions

A group of teachers at the Technical University of Denmark are
planning two new undergraduate courses. One will treat both theory
and computation for ordinary differential equations, and the other
will do the same for partial differential equations.
Can anyone suggest a textbook for either course? The language
should be English, and it would be desirable if the texts contained
technical applications.

Subject: Fast Bessel Transform Software

I am searching for a Fast Bessel+Fourier (forward & backward)
Transform software:

$ A_{m,n} = 2/(c^2 J_1(\alpha_j c)^2 \int_0^c dx \int_0^1 dz
\exp(-2i \pi m z) x J_0(\alpha_j x) f(x,z)$
for : $ -\inf < m < \inf$ and $1 \le n < \inf$
and f(x,z) is be any piecewise continous complex function on the
interval 0 < x < c. \alpha_j are the positive roots of the equation:
$J_0(\alpha c)=0$.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,

Subject: Delay Differential Equations

NA-NET recently carried a request for references on delay differential
equations from Heru Suhartanto (heru@cs.ui.ac.id). This prompts us to
publicise the availability of our Numerical Analysis Report 248,

Issues in the Numerical Solution of Evolutionary Delay Differential
Equations
by C T H Baker, C A H Paul and D R Wille

available by anonymous ftp from vtx.ma.man.ac.uk (130.88.16.2) in
pub/narep as narep248.ps.Z. This report is based on the talk at
SCADE93 in Auckland, given by Christopher Baker, and is dedicated to
John Butcher.
It includes 75 references to existing work in this area. Incidentally,
the authors would appreciate receiving comments on this report from
others working in the area.

Subject: Integrals Involving the Error Function

"Integrals of the form

Integrate[Exp[-(at+b)^2]Erf[ct+d]Erf[et+f],{t,-Infinity,Infinity}],

where a-f are finite, arise in a variety of contexts.

I have used both Maple and Mathematica to find some closed form expressions
for these integrals but drew a blank. The old reliable (pencil & paper) gives

Sqrt(pi)/a{Erf[(ad+bc)/Sqrt(a^2+c^2)]-2Erf[bc/Sqrt(a^2+c^2)]}

when e=0 and Erf(f)=1. Can anyone help for arbitrary a-f?"

enhance understanding of the technical aspects of computer algebra, by
providing a forum for researchers, users, and others, to meet and
become more familiar with the work going on in the area.The meeting is
endorsed by ACM SIGSAM.

The invited talks include:

Richard Fateman, UC Berkeley:
``Symbolic Computation and Numeric Problem Solving''

Barry Trager, IBM -- T.J.Watson Research Lab:
``Good and Bad Primes for Computer Algebra''

Robert Corless, Western Ontario University:
``Lambert's W Function: Diverse Applications and a Singular Implementation''

In addition, there will poster sessions and less formal presentations.

Poster topics proposed to date include: applications to
bioengineering, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering;
sparse polynomial algorithms; wavelets; parallel computer algebra;
human computer interfaces for education; computational geometry, and
more.

DEADLINES To request travel support, Wednesday April 28. For a
poster session proposal, Wednesday May 4. For conference
registration: Wednesday, May 11.

REGISTRATION INFORMATION To indicate interest in attendance, in making
a poster pre sentation/ software demonstration, or to apply for travel
assistance, please contact: Professor Bruce Char , Department of
Mathematics and Computer Science , Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA
19104 e-mail: bchar@mcs.drexel.edu phone: (215) 895-2670 . fax: (215)
895-4999.

POSTER SESSIONS There will be two 1-hour poster sessions where
participants can present their work of interest. Graduate students
are particularly encouraged to take part. All those who are
interested in presenting a poster or system demonstration should
submit (email or fax okay ) a title and short (250 word or less)
abstract describing the work. The abstract should state, in a way
accessible to a technically literate but heterogeneous audience, the
purpose, methods and achievements of the work to be presented. If the
poster is accepted then the participant will be scheduled for one of
the two sessions.

Posters should be prepared to be presented on two bulletin boards
approximately 4 feet by 4 feet each (thumbtacks to be provided!). If
computers or other audio visual equipment is required, please describe
your needs in your submission to the organizers.

TRAVEL SUPPORT The meeting organizers can provide limited travel
support to individuals who will present research work of interest at a
poster session. Priority will be given to graduate students located on
the U.S. East Coast who are concentrating in computer algebra. Those
wishing travel support should submit their title and abstract as soon
as possible in order to receive full consideration. Graduate students
seeking travel support should send a letter of support from their
advisor to the organizers. The letter can be sent electronically.

Subject: Fifth SIAM Applied Linear Algebra Conference

The Fifth SIAM Applied Linear Algebra conference, to be held in June
in Snowbird, Utah, is planned around 19 scheduled common interest
sessions. We are attempting to schedule these sessions to minimize
conflict, using a discrete optimization algorithm. The data we need
for the scheduling program is part of the SIAM Registration card.
So, if you haven't registered yet, you haven't participated in
scheduling the common interest sessions either.

We will construct the schedule based on preregistrations that we
receive by May 1st. (We'd rather wait to perform the scheduling after
everyone's preferences are in, but some attendees have asked us to
finish earlier to allow them to tune travel plans to the final
schedule.) So, please register early! You can still preregister at
the reduced price until June 1st, but scheduling data received after
May 1st will be ignored.

We encourage those of you who have not yet registered to do so as soon
as possible. If you really intend to attend the meeting, but cannot
submit your registration to SIAM by the May 1st deadline because of
bureaucratic barriers, please communicate directly with John Lewis
(jglewis@espresso.rt.cs.boeing.com).

If you are undecided about attending because you missed the deadline
for submitting a paper to the proceedings, please remember that each
common interest session will begin with a half-hour poster session, at
which you can present your work, and if you wish, distribute preprints.
