Subject: Numerical Analysis Haiku Project
The Numerical Analysis Haiku Project (NAHP) is an initiative to gather
haikus about or relating to numerical analysis. Here are two examples:
Non-conforming yet
Darn well approximating
Wee edge element.
Backward Euler step,
Demands nonlinear solve,
Yet stable-- and how!
A haiku consists of three lines. The first and third lines must have 5
syllables each; the second line must have seven. We have dropped the
requirement that a season of the year be mentioned. Submissions in any
language are accepted. A selection will be published on the NAHP Web site.

Subject: Optimization Online
The Mathematical Programming Society and the Optimization Technology
Center (Argonne / Northwestern) are pleased to announce "Optimization
Online": a new web-based repository of e-prints on optimization and
related topics available at
http://www.optimization-online.org
We encourage everyone in the optimization community to post technical
reports on the site and to check out the latest reports by
others. After many months of preparation, we believe that our site is
ready to handle a tidal wave of submissions, so give us your best shot!
You can also sign up for a digest of submissions, to be emailed at the
end of each month.
Submissions are moderated by members of a Coordinators Board, who
check for correctness and completeness of the author-title-URL
information but do not usually referee the content of each report.
Authors may change their report listing and upload new versions of
their reports as necessary. Authors are responsible for following
applicable copyright laws, removing their report when required to do
so by its publisher.
The scope of technical reports to be posted on Optimization Online
roughly corresponds to that of the major journals in
optimization. Reports are organized by a subject classification
scheme; see site for details.
Please send comments and questions about Optimization Online to

Subject: SIAG/LA Prize in Applied Linear Algebra
SIAG/LA prize in Applied Linear Algebra:
The prize for the best paper in Applied Linear Algebra for the
years 1997-2000 was presented at the 7th SIAM Conference on Applied
Linear Algebra in Raleigh October 2000.
The prize, consisting of a calligraphed certificate and a plaque,
was awarded to two parties, to Olga Holtz from the University of Wisconsin
in Madison, and to the team of Alan Edelman from MIT and Erik Elmroth and
Bo Kagstroem from the University of Umea in Sweden.
In her prize winning paper, "Not All GKK Tau-Matrices are Stable"
(Linear Algebra Appl. vol. 291, no. 1-3, pp 235-244, 1999), Olga Holtz
solves a long standing open problem concerning the location of spectra
for two important classes of matrices that arise frequently in
applications.
In their prize winning paper "A Geometric Approach to Perturbation
Theory of Matrices and Matrix Pencils. Part I: Versal Deformations"
(SIAM. J. Matrix Anal. Appl., vol. 18, no. 3, pp. 653-692, 1997),
Alan Edelman, Erik Elmroth and Bo Kagstroem introduce the
geometric theory of versal deformations to derive metrical information
for the perturbation theory of the Kronecker canonical form of a
matrix pencil.
The members of the prize committee were Volker Mehrmann
(chair), Uwe Helmke, Danny Hershkowitz, Nick Higham and Zdenek Strakos.
Nick Higham has published photos of the winners on his webpage, at

Subject: New Book, Stability and Transition in Shear Flows
Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the pubication of our book
"Stability and Transition in Shear Flows"
by Springer-Verlag (Applied Mathematical Sciences 142;
ISBN 0-387-98985-4; Hardcover - 565 pages).
This textbook gives a modern introduction to the hydrodynamic
stability theory of shear flows. It treats both classical theories
such as modal analysis, weakly nonlinear theory and resonances, and
more recent developments such as nonmodal analysis, receptivity, and
secondary instability theory. The last chapter addresses transition
in shear flows and applies numerous techniques developed in the book
to analyze and quantify transition scenarios for a variety of shear
flows. Simple model problems to motivate mathematical concepts are
used throughout the book, as are experimental results and computed
illustrations to complement theoretical findings. A table of contents
is given below.

ANNOUNCEMENT:
The organizing committee is pleased to announce that the second
International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians (ICCM2001) will be held
from Monday, December 17, through Saturday, December 22, 2001, at the Grand

of the first ICCM'98 in Beijing in December of 1998. The congress is
expected to gather Chinese and Chinese descent mathematicians, and to
invite distinguished speakers from all countries to report and exchange
latest developments and frontier advancements in all major areas in
mathematics.
ABOUT THE CONGRESS:
The International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians is a triennial
congress hosted by institutions in Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong,
and Singapore in a rotating basis. The first ICCM'98 was a great success

To make the congress a true worldwide gathering, all presentations will
be given in English.
This second congress, ICCM 2001, will be dedicated to Professor Shiing-Shen
Chern for his 90th birthday. Professor Chern is one of the greatest living
geometers and a recipient of many international honors. He has elevated,
encouraged and influenced many young talented scientists to stimulate their
potential and reach their success. After his retirement from Berkeley in
1979, he continued to be active, and in particular he helped to launch and
promote numerous academic activities in Chinese science community including
China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
LIFE-TIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD:
A Lifetime Achievement Award and a Gold Medal will be awarded to Professor
Shiing-Shen Chern at the opening ceremony of ICCM 2001.
MORNINGSIDE AWARDS:
The Morningside Medals were established, through the Morningside Foundation,
Hong Kong, to encourage outstanding young mathematicians of Chinese descent
in their pursuit of mathematical truths. Up to three gold medals, carrying a
cash award of US$25,000, and six silver medals, carrying cash award of
US$6,250, will be awarded. Medalists are selected by a panel of
internationally renowned mathematicians. The recipients will be announced
during the award ceremony, and the medals will only be awarded to those who
