Johnson, The College of William and Mary Speakers: Richard A. Brualdi, Persi Diaconis, I. C. Gohberg, Roger A. Horn, Arunava Mukherjea, Ingram Olkin The emphasis in the Short Course will be on concepts from matrix analysis that are important in areas of modern applied mathematics. The two-day program consists of seven lectures, representing areas of applied mathematics that are major users of and stimulus to matrix theory: statistics operations research/economics applied algebra/combinatorics probability theory/random matrices systems and control/electrical engineering The Short Course will exhibit the interplay between applications and theoretical development of the subject and will provide a setting in which participants can become acquainted with newer methods and ideas of the subject. The lectures will be expository, not at the research level. Inquiries to: Monica Foulkes, AMS, P.O.

This means that more than just piecewise linear elements must be available. My friend has little experience with FEMs, and I have offered to help him get started. If the code is public domain, that's great, but as long as we're not talking more than several hundreds of dollars, we can consider comercial products. Also, if you know of code that runs on Suns or Vaxes that might be fine too, but my partner in this is pretty much only a PC user, so the PC code would be best as he could get it running himself.

The successful candidate will join K-C Ng, Shing Ma, and me at Sun's Mountain View site. The successful candidate will eventually take over my existing responsibilities for Sun-3 support in the following areas: libm development and maintenance libc development and maintenance validation suite enhancements release engineering contact floating-point lab machines floating-point hardware diagnostics and afterward will take on other tasks as appropriate to background and interests. Candidates should be acquainted with most of the issues raised in the floating-point indoctrination lecture series syllabus and knowledgeable about some of them. Familiarity with Unix, C, and Fortran in general, and SunOS in particular, is required eventually and so would be preferable initially. I would appreciate resumes from persons qualified and interested in taking over these tasks. Electronic troff or LaTeX source is preferred (to dhough@sun.com); paper mail may be sent to David Hough MS 12-40 Sun Microsystems 2550 Garcia Av Mountain View, CA 94043 ------------------------------ From: Nestor Martinez Date: 26 Jul 88 14:27:48 GMT Subject: Statistical Computing Group in Argentina We're planning (I and other statisticians and mathematicians who work in universities and research institutions) to form a statisticial computing group in Argentina. We'll agree all suggests and informations about how organize it and how contact with similar groups. For example publications to subscribe, stat packages for micros and main frames, events and meetings, etc. - Nestor Marcelo G. Martinez Statistician M.R.E. y C. Bs. As.

Ideally software would be written for UNIX V, or in standard FORTRAN 77.
