Subject: Three New Books from Springer
Springer Series in Computational Mathematics Vol. 30: V.S. Ryaben'kii
"Methods of Difference Potentials and its Applications"
2001. DM 159,90/EUR 79,95; Hardcover ISBN 3-540-42633-7
The book presents the method of difference potentials first proposed by the
author in 1969 and contains illustrative examples and new algorithms for
solving applied problems of gas dynamics, diffraction, scattering theory,
and active noise screening. The fundamentals of the method are described in
Parts I-III and its applications in Parts IV-VIII. To get acquainted with
the basic ideas of the method, it suffices to study the Introduction. After
this, each of the Parts VI-VIII can be read independently. The book is
intended for specialists in the field of computational mathematics and the
theory of differential and integral equations, as well as for graduate
students of related specialities.
Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering, Vol. 19: I. Babuska,
P.G. Ciarlet, T. Miyoshi (Eds.) "Mathematical Modeling and Numerical
Simulation in Continuum Mechanics - Proceedings of the International
Symposium on Mathematical Modeling and Numerical Simulation in Continuum
Mechanics, Sept. 29-Oct. 3, 2000, Yamaguchi, Japan"
2001. DM 149,90/EUR 74,95; Softcover ISBN 3-540-42399-0
This book shows the latest frontiers of the research by the most active
researchers in the field of numerical mathematics. The papers in the book
were presented at a symposium held in Yamaguchi, Japan. The subject of the
symposium was mathematical modeling and numerical simulation in continuum
mechanics. The topics of the lectures ranged from solids to fluids and
included both mathematical and computational analysis of phenomena and
algorithms. The reader can study the latest results on shells, plates,
flows in various situations, fracture of solids, new ways of exact error
estimates and many other topics.
Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering, Vol. 20: T. Barth,
T. Chan, R. Haimes (Eds.) "Multiscale and Multiresolution Methods - Theory
and Applications"
2001. DM 149,90/EUR 74,95; Softcover ISBN 3-540-42420-2
Many computionally challenging problems omnipresent in science and
engineering exhibit multiscale phenomena so that the task of computing or
even representing all scales of action is computationally very expensive
unless the multiscale nature of these problems is exploited in a fundamental
way. Some diverse examples of practical interest include the computation of
fluid turbulence, structural analysis of composite materials, terabyte data
mining, image processing, and a multitude of others. This book consists of
both invited and contributed articles which address many facets of efficient
multiscale representation and scientific computation from varied viewpoints
such as hierarchical data representations, multilevel algorithms, algebraic
homogenization, and others. This book should be of particular interest to
readers interested in recent and emerging trends in multiscale and
multiresolution computation with application to a wide range of practical
problems.

Subject: Conference at Cocoyoc on Domain Decomposition Methods
Plan now to attend the 14th International Conference on Domain
Decomposition Methods, 6-11 January 2002, in idyllic Cocoyoc (Morelos),
Mexico, sixty miles from Mexico City in the heart of the ancient Mayan and
volcanic regions.
Sociedad Matematica Mexicana and Union Geofisica Mexicana and other
sponsors invite you to join an international scientific computing
community for a program of over 80 technical presentations, including 14
invited speakers from Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
Domain Decomposition (DD) is an organizing principle for many concepts and
methodologies in mathematics, computational science, and engineering. As
optimal algorithms and freely available software mature, the objective of
this conference is increasingly to promote understanding and use of DD for
the solution of large-scale computational problems arising in various
fields of science and engineering. The geophysical sciences are of
particular interest at the 2002 meeting. Newcomers to this conference
series are welcome and expected.
All participants are invited to join an organized excursion to the ancient
Toltec city of Xochicalco (near Cuernavaca) on Wednesday, 9 January, the
conference midpoint. Buses to and from the Mexico City airport are
organized for early Monday morning and Friday afternoon.
The early registration deadline (saving US$100) is 30 November 2001.

can be found at http://ima.umn.edu/optimization . The IMA annual
program in 2003-2004 will be on Probability and Statistics in Complex
Systems: Genomics, Networks, and Financial Engineering, and is
described at http://ima.umn.edu/complex .
The IMA is a national institute whose mission is to foster research of
a truly interdisciplinary nature, establishing links between
mathematics of the highest caliber and important scientific and
technological problems from other disciplines and industry, to expand
and strengthen the talent base engaged in mathematical research applied
to or relevant to such problems. It was founded in 1982 and receives
