Subject: Matrices with Orthonormal Columns
There is as yet no generally accepted term for a (rectangular) matrix
with orthonormal columns. Some authors use "orthonormal matrix" but
that should have been the term for an orthogonal matrix.
I propose that we call it a "left-orthogonal" matrix, and a matrix with
orthonormal rows a "right-orthogonal" matrix.
Reasoning:
Q is orthogonal if and only if Q' is the inverse of Q: Q'Q = QQ' = I.
Q is left-orthogonal if and only if Q' is a left-inverse of Q: Q'Q = I.
Q is right-orthogonal if and only if Q' is a right-inverse of Q: QQ' = I.

Subject: Mondriaan 1.0, Sparse Matrix Partitioning Package
Mondriaan 1.0: Sparse matrix partitioning package
We would like to announce the availability of version 1.0 of the
Mondriaan package. Mondriaan is a two-dimensional, multilevel,
hypergraph-based package for the partitioning of a rectangular
sparse matrix, as a sequential preprocessing step for parallel
sparse matrix-vector multiplication.
The package and an accompanying paper by Brendan Vastenhouw and
Rob Bisseling can be obtained from:
http://www.math.uu.nl/people/bisseling/Mondriaan/mondriaan.html
Mondriaan is written in C. It is distributed under the GNU license.

Subject: New Book, Fundamentals of Matrix Computations
FUNDAMENTALS OF MATRIX COMPUTATIONS, Second Edition
David S. Watkins
Dear NA Digest Readers,
Two months ago I gave you advance notice of the publication of the
second edition of my book "Fundamentals of Matrix Computations."
Now I am pleased to announce that the book is in print and available
for purchase from John Wiley and Sons at
http://www.wiley.com/cda/product/0,,0471213942,00.html.
For more information, visit my website
http://www.sci.wsu.edu/math/faculty/watkins/,
from which you can download the frontmatter, including the table of
contents, in pdf format.
I tried really hard to write a perfect book, but of course I fell
short of that goal. An errata sheet is posted at my website.
If you teach matrix computations at either the graduate or
undergraduate level, or if you are just looking for another
good reference, please take a close look at this book.
with best wishes,
David Watkins

Subject: Conference in Singapore on Scientific and Engineering Computation
The Institute of High Performance Computing will be jointly organising
the International Conference on Scientific and Engineering Computation
(IC-SEC 2002) with the Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Science and
Institute for Mathematical Sciences of the National University of
Singapore from 3 to 5 December 2002. The conference is also organised in
co-operation with the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics
(SIAM), Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Society - Singapore (SingTAM),
Australian and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ANZIAM),
and the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC).
IC-SEC 2002 aims to create a forum for engineers and scientists who are
involved in the use of high performance computers, advanced numerical
strategies, computational methods and simulation in various scientific
and engineering disciplines. The conference also offers participants a
platform to present and discuss latest trends and findings or simply to
learn about the state-of-the-art in their particular field(s) of
interest.

Subject: Masters Course in Complex Fluids at Aberystwyth
M.Sc. in Mathematics
Complex Fluids: Modelling, Simulation and Industrial Applications
The Department of Mathematics at the University of Wales Aberystwyth
has received funding from the EPSRC for a new Masters level course
in Complex Fluids. The Applied Mathematics Group has an international
reputation in the study of complex fluids and enjoys strong links with
industrial companies. There are several studentships available.
Informal enquiries may be made to the Departmental Postgraduate
Admissions Officer, Dr. V. C. Mavron (vcm@aber.ac.uk, 01970 622766)
or the Course Director, Professor T. N. Phillips (tnp@aber.ac.uk,
01970 622769).
An understanding of the properties and behaviour of complex fluids
is a necessary prerequisite for many industrial processes such as
injection moulding, blow moulding, extrusion, coating and fibre spinning
in the polymer industry, and many similar processes in the food industry
that are used in producing a wide range of processed foods. There are
also applications of complex fluids in the oil industry where an
understanding of the rheological behaviour of fluids is important in
drilling, enhanced oil recovery and in lubrication processes.
Add to these the detergent industry, the pharmaceutical industry
and a growing interest in medicine (for example, the properties
of blood flow in the human body), and one can see that rheology
impinges very significantly on numerous aspects of modern life.
The study of complex fluids is an interdisciplinary research field
which calls upon engineering, physical chemistry, physics and mathematics.
The study of complex fluids is important in many applications in science
and engineering especially with the plethora of new materials and products
being designed, produced and processed today.
