Subject: Jerry Keiper

I wanted to let you know of a very sad event that took place yesterday
evening: Jerry Keiper, the leader of our numerics R&D group, was killed in
a bicycle accident in Champaign, Illinois.

Jerry began his work on Mathematica in 1987, and laid the foundations
for most of the numerical capabilities of the system. He pioneered
major new approaches in numerical analysis, implementing them in
Mathematica, as well as using them in papers that he published
about topics such as the Riemann zeta function. (He was largely responsible
for the 1990 Mathematica poster of the zeta function.)

Jerry will be known to many for his book "Elementary Numerical Computing
with Mathematica", as well as for his lectures, papers and participation
in newsgroups. His tragic death in the prime of his life is a great loss
not only to those who knew him personally, but also to the world of
mathematics and computing at large.

In addition to having a superb intellect, Jerry was also a remarkable
human being whose life continually demonstrated the deep spiritual and
philosophical principles that guided him. I and his many friends will
miss him greatly.

We have set up the alias keiper-memorial@wri.com for mail about Jerry
that can be shared with his family, friends and colleagues. We will
be posting a more extensive obituary shortly.

Subject: Two Special Swedish Birthdays

Two Special Swedish Birthdays

Last week, conferences were held in Sweden recognizing special
milestones for two foremost Swedish numerical analysts:
Ake Bjorck and Germund Dahlquist.

First, on January 9/10, a conference on least squares computations
celebrating Ake Bjorck's 60th birthday was held in Linkoping, very
well organized by Lars Elden and Tommy Elfving, assisted by the staff
of their department. About 70 people attended, including many from
North America and Central Europe. Invited talks were given by
Gene Golub, Iain Duff, Pete Stewart, Sabine van Huffel, Chris Paige,
Jim Varah, Charles van Loan, and Michael Saunders. In addition, there
were over 20 contributed talks, making it a very full two-day meeting.
Particularly notable, in this reviewer's estimation, was Charlie van
Loan's talk on the use of Kronecker Products in matrix decompositions,
including new applications in wavelet transformations.

A conference dinner in Ake's honor was held on the evening of
January 9, at the Frimurare Hotel, in true Swedish style, with the
President on Linkoping University, Sven Erlander, presiding.
Many testimonials to Ake's work and generous nature were given.
He was summed up by more than one observer as "a true Swedish
gentleman".

Note: several of the papers presented at the conference are available
on WWW - use http://math.liu.se/Num/conference/

Second, from January 11-13, a conference honoring Germund
Dahlquist's 70th birthday was held at the Royal Institute in Stockholm,
ably organized by Lennart Edsberg, Bengt Lindberg, and the staff
of NADA. Unlike the event 10 years ago celebrating his 60th
birthday, this one was not intended to be a major conference. However,
there were still over 70 attendees, many from North America and other
parts of Europe (and John Butcher from New Zealand!). Hour-long
invited talks were given by Gene Golub, John Butcher, and Heinz
Kreiss, and there were as well 25 twenty-minute talks, thus filling up
the two and a half day schedule.

Again the conference dinner Thursday night at the Vardshuset on the
KTH campus was most entertaining, with 12 testimonials given to
the breadth and depth of Germund's contributions to the field, and
to his support of other researchers. The evening culminated in
the singing of a special "Ode to Germund", written specially for
the occasion.

Subject: Who are Seidel, Hessenberg and Jordan?

Who are Seidel ?, Hessenberg ? and Jordan ?

Most of numerical analysts know the Gauss-Seidel method
of the iterative method, the Hessenberg matrix in eigenvalue
problem and the Gauss-Jordan method for the direct method
for linear systems.
I do, however, wonder who is Seidel, Hessenberg and Jordan ?

Concerning Seidel as a designer of the Gauss-Seidel method,
from the book titled 'Valeurs propres de matrices' by
Francoise Chatelin published by Masson Paris 1988.
In chapter 2.12 of the book, we can see that Philipp Ludwig
Seidel(1821-1896) was born at Zwiebr\"ucken and
died at M\"unchen.
Moreover, we know that his original paper of the Gauss-Seidel
method is the following paper.

\"Uber ein Verfahren, die Gleichungen, auf welche
die Methode der kleinsten Quadrate f\"uhrt, sowie lineare
Gleichungen \"uberhaupt, durch successive Ann\"aherung
aufzul\"osen, Abh. bayer Akad. Wiss., {\bf 11}(1874), 81.

However, I want to know on his personal data in detail.

Concerning Hessenberg as a designer of the Hesssenberg matrix
in eigenvalue problems, from the book written by G\"unther and
H\"ammerlin titled "Numerical Mathematics" published from
Springer Verlag 1991(English translation),
we can see that they refered K. Hessenberg (1941) in page 97
of the book as a designer of Hessenberg matices, and
listed in the reference(page 409):

"Auflosung linearer Eigenwertaufgaben mit Hilfe der
Hamilton-Cayleyschen Gleichung. Dissertation T. H. Darmstadt"
by K. Hessenberg(1941).

Does anybody have his dissertation itself?

Concerning Jordan as a designer of the Gauss-Jordan method of
the direct method for linear systems, I do not know except
that he might be German.
In chapter 1.6.3 of the above book by F. Chatelin, we see that
Jordan as a designer of Jordan normal form is French Camille
Jordan(1838-1921). He was born at Lyon and was died at Paris.
However, we cannot know anything from this book about
Jordan himself of the Gauss-Jordan method and his original
paper and his works?

So, what I want to know is on their personal information
in detail and their works relevant to the method.
Does anybody have knowledge on this matter?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Subject: Bypassing the Pentium's Bug

Hello, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 11/01/95

I have developed an Assembler 80x87 routine to prevent the well-known
Pentium's bug. It's slow, but works quite well. The routine - called MyDiv -
is nchased within a program (in two flavours, Turbo Pascal and C)
which also performs the following tests:

First test: (5505001/294911)*294911 - 5505001
Second test: (4195835/3145727)*3145727 - 4195835

The performance of MyDiv is compared with the compiler instruction "/" and
with tbe coprocessor's (defective) FDIV instruction.

If you are willing to get a copy of the code please send a mail to:

barbuto@ax.ibase.org.br

(in Portuguese or English) specifying which version you want to receive,
Pascal or C, and I'll send it to you as soon as possible.

Best wishes,

Subject: Conference on ABS Methods

ANNOUNCEMENT: SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ABS METHODS
Beijing, June 1-3, 1995

ABS methods are techniques that have been developed since 1984 to unify
algorithms for solving linear and nonlinear equations and optimization
problems, starting from a paper of Abaffy, Broyden and Spedicato in
Numerische Mathematik. Present ABS literature has more than 250 works and
numerical experiments have shown that these methods can be implemented in a
numerically stable way and can be faster than standard methods on
vector/parallel machines. Following a first conference in Luoyang, the
second ABS conference is planned in Beijing, June 1-3. Notice that the
optimization ICOTA conference is planned for June 5-8 in Chengdu.
Registration fee is 250 US$, including lunches and dinner banquet. Papers in
the area or in related linear algebra and optimization areas are invited.
Proceedings will be published. For further information contact the
conference chairman prof. Deng Naiyang, Dept Basic Sciences, Agricultural
Engineering University, Quinghua Donglu, Beijing 100083, fax +86 1 2016320 or
prof. E. Spedicato, Dept Mathematics, University of Bergamo, fax +39 35

the applications, mathematics and numerics of boundary element techniques.
Of particular interest this year are applications to computational fluid
dynamics and high performance computing, in addition to the more traditional
applications. If your interest is in three-dimensional elastic crack
problems, then I would be pleased to assist in any way including
forwarding abstracts.

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS: If you wish to contribute a paper for consideration by
the review panel please send an abstract of no more than 300 words
to the address below. The camera ready manuscript of the final full length

Subject: Conference on Geometric Design

Fourth SIAM Conference on Geometric Design
Sponsored by SIAM Activity Group on Geometric Design

November 6-9, 1995
Loews Vanderbilt Plaza Hotel, Nashville, Tennessee

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

This conference will bring together researchers from academia,
industry, and government to discuss the mathematical and
computational problems associated with the application of
geometry to current problems of design, manufacturing, and the
representation of physical phenomena. The conference will focus
on curve and surface design, solid modeling and computer-aided
design and manufacturing, geometric algorithms, and applications
in such areas as computer vision, geosciences, graphics, medical
imaging, robotics, and scientific visualization.

What is New About the Conference?
In response to requests from attendees of previous meetings,
there will be several changes in the format of the conference.
First, the length of the conference will be reduced from 5 days
to 4. The number of parallel sessions will also be reduced from 4
to 2 for Minisymposia, and from 4 to 3 for Contributed Focus
Sessions.

The challenge to the organizing committee was to provide a forum
for all SIAM members to present their research within a format
with fewer days and fewer parallel sessions. As in the past,
there will be no refereeing of papers. We believe in the free
and immediate flow of ideas. However, to accomplish this
organizational feat, we have redirected the minisymposia, changed
the format of the contributed sessions which will now be called
Contributed Focus Sessions, and reinstated the poster session.
