Subject: C. R. Rao Receives Padma Vibhusan from Government of India

On January 25, 2001, Professor C. R. Rao, Holder of the Eberly Family Chair in
Statistics and director of the Center for Multivariate Analysis at Pennsylvania
State University has been awarded the title: Padma Vibhusan -- the
second-highest civilian honor bestowed by the country of India -- for
outstanding contributions to science, engineering, and statistics.

Rao is internationally acknowledged as one of the pioneers who laid the
foundation of modern statistics, as well as one of the world's top
statisticians with multifaceted distinctions as a mathematician,
researcher, scientist, and teacher. His pioneering contributions to
mathematics and statistical theory and applications have become part of
undergraduate and graduate courses in statistics, econometrics, electrical
engineering, and many other disciplines at most universities throughout the
world.

He has received numerous awards and medals for his pioneering contributions
to statistics, including the Wilks Medal from the American Statistical
Association, the Guy Medal in Silver of the Royal Statistical Society of
England, the Megnadh Saha Medal of the Indian National Science Academy, and
the Mahalanobis Centenary Gold Medal of the Indian Science Congress. He
also has received the 2000 Emanuel and Carol Parzen Prize for Statistical

Subject: New Book, Optimal Solution of Nonlinear Equations

New book: Optimal Solution of Nonlinear Equations, K. Sikorski,
Oxford Press, 2001. (ISBN 0-19-510690-3)

Overview:

The purpose of this monograph is to provide an overview of optimal
computational methods for the solution of nonlinear
equations, fixed points of contractive and noncontractive
mappings, and for the computation of the topological degree.
We analyze the worst case scenario here. This means that for
a given error criterion and a tolerance $\e$, the methods
guarantee the computation of an $\e$-approximation to the solution
for every function in a given class $F$. Optimal
methods solve the problem in the smallest possible time.

We study several classes of functions, with special emphasis
on tight complexity bounds and methods that are close to or
achieve these bounds. In addition, pseudocodes and numerical tests
of several methods are exhibited.

Subject: Industrial Mathematics Modeling Workshop at NC State

2001 Industrial Mathematics Modeling Workshop for
Graduate Students
July 23-July 31, 2001
Center for Research in Scientific Computation
North Carolina State University

OBJECTIVES:

Expose 36 graduate students in mathematics to challenging
and exciting real-world problems arising in industrial
and government laboratory research

Introduce students to the team approach to problem solving

GENERAL INFO:

This workshop will be the 7th one of this type to be held at NCSU.
We offer the support of experienced faculty and staff as well as
extensive financial support (local living expenses and allocation
for travel) to all selected students who are U.S. citizens or permanent
residents. The workshop is supported by the National Science
Foundation.

FORMAT:

The students are divided into six-member teams to collaborate on
industrial mathematics projects presented by experienced scientists
and enginners. The corresponding problems are not the kind of
academic exercises often considered in classrooms. The challenges
they raise typically require fresh new insight for both formulation
and solution. During the workshop, each group is mentored by both
the problem presenter and a faculty adviser.

PROJECTS:

Boeing: unregistered laminographic reconstruction.
Centura Banks, Inc.: interest rate models and new type of derivatives.
Duke University Medical Center: modeling of molecular diffusion
in soft tissues.
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center: modeling control of HIV
infection through structured treatment interruptions.
Michelin North America: optimization of tire design through
nonlinear multidimensional minimization.
SAS, Texas Instruments: under negotiation

computing platforms; demonstrated experience in at least two of the
following programming languages: Fortran90, C++, C, Java, PERL;
effective interpersonal skills with demonstrated experience working in
a team research environment; and the ability to obtain a DOE Q
clearance which normally requires U.S. citizenship.

Applicants with the following desired skills will be given special
consideration: documented experience in the numerical modeling of
incompressible free surface or interfacial flows; familiarity with
parallel algorithm development and implementation in large-scale
software projects; an understanding of numerical algorithms and
solution methods for linear and nonlinear PDEs, e.g., finite volume,
finite difference, or finite element techniques; effective oral and
written skills as demonstrated by publication and oral presentation
record; experience working in a multi-disciplinary research
environment; practical experience with the development and use of
large scale simulation tools targeted at modeling applications such as
continuum mechanical processes and global climate; documented
experience in the numerical modeling of systems undergoing phase
change; and documented experience in the numerical modeling of shock
dynamics of multiphase systems.

Applicants should have an education consisting of a Ph.D. in a science
or engineering field with a computer or computational science emphasis
or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

Applicants are encouraged to apply online at
http://www.ccs.lanl.gov/jobs.shtml, or by sending a resume, statement
