Subject: Tables of Gauss-Turan-type Quadrature
Hello
I am currently investigating into the use of quadrature rules involving
derivatives of the integrand in the Boundary Element Method problems. In
this regard, I am looking for some tables of abscissae and weights for
various orders of derivatives of the integrand. I would be most grateful if
anyone can guide towards these tables or routines that generate these
tables.
Many thanks

Subject: New Book, Adaptive Method of Lines
New book:
ADAPTIVE METHOD OF LINES
A. Vande Wouwer, P. Saucez and W.E. Schiesser (Eds.)
Chapman & Hall / CRC, 2001
ISBN: 1-58488-231-X
The general Method Of Lines (MOL) procedure provides a flexible format for
the solution of all the major classes of partial differential equations
(PDEs) and is particularly well suited to evolutionary, nonlinear PDEs.
Despite its utility, however, there are relatively few texts that explore
it at a more advanced level and reflect the method's current state of
development.
Written by distinguished researchers in the field, Adaptive Method of Lines
reflects the diversity of techniques and applications related to the MOL.
Most of its chapters focus on a particular application but also provide a
discussion of underlying philosophy and technique. Particular attention is
paid to the concept of both temporal and spatial adaptivity in solving
time-dependent PDEs.=20
The purpose of the book is threefold:
-to provide an introduction to the MOL and the concepts of time and space
adaptation;
-to present a variety of applications from physics and engineering science;
-to describe new methods and codes and to highlight current research.
Hence, this book is intended for engineers, physicists and applied
mathematicians who are not familiar with the MOL, as well as for numerical
analysts interested in recent research results.
Contents of the book:
-Introduction (A.Vande Wouwer, P. Saucez and W.E. Schiesser)

Subject: Short Course on CFD at NASA Ames and von Karman Institute
NATO-RTO/NASA/VKI Short Course
"Error Estimation and Solution Adaptive Discretization in CFD"
Overview
As computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is applied to ever more

lecture series is to provide a series of comprehensive lectures by
leading experts discussing recent advances and technical progress in
the area of numerical error estimation and adaptive discretization
methods with specific emphasis on computational fluid dynamics. The
lectures are intended to accommodate attendees of both novice and
advanced levels of technical expertise.
The week long lecture series will be given at NASA Ames in the
