Subject: 3D Data Visualization
Dear NA Digest readers:
I am teaching this semester a new subject at my University about
"Mathematicals Tools in Engineering". One of the main parts of this
subject is data visualization, and I'd like to focus in 3D (both scalar
and vectorial) representations. However, I don't have a lot of examples
to show in the classroom, so I'd thank if any member of this community
could suply me any data from his simulations in any field. A small
explanation about the data and the format in which the it is storaged
would also be helpful.
Thanks in advance,

Subject: Workshop in Palo Alto on Tensor Decompositions
Workshop on Tensor Decompositions
July 19 - 23, 2004
American Institute of Mathematics Research Conference Center
Palo Alto, California
http://www.aimath.org/ARCC/workshops/tensordecomp.html
Organized by
Gene Golub, Tamara Kolda, James Nagy, and Charles Van Loan.
This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will consider
mathematical problems of tensor decomposition. Though higher-order
tensor (also known as multidimensional, multi-way, or n-way array)
decompositions have been around for more than three decades, the door
is now opening on greater mathematical understanding and new
applications. Previously, this topic has been the domain of
researchers in psychometrics and chemometrics. Now, however,
computationally oriented mathematicians have begun to take an interest
and envision many more potential applications ranging from image and
signal processing to data mining and more. The challenge is to find
ways to extend these methods to larger data sets, i.e., data sets with
thousands to millions of entries. This will require advances in the
theory and computation of higher-order tensor decompositions.
For more details please see the workshop announcement page:
http://www.aimath.org/ARCC/workshops/tensordecomp.html
Space and funding is available for a few more participants. If you
would like to participate, please apply by filling out the on-line
form (available at the link above) no later than April 19, 2004.
Applications are open to all, and we especially encourage women,
underrepresented minorities, junior mathematicians, and researchers
from primarily undergraduate institutions to apply.
Before submitting an application, please read the ARCC policies
concerning participation and financial support for participants.
The AIM Research Conference Center (ARCC) hosts focused
workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. ARCC
focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on
a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on
a significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of
an important new result, or investigating the convergence
between two distinct areas of mathematics.

Theme:
The purpose of this workshop is to investigate the relationship between
numerical methods for partial and for ordinary differential equations.
It is hoped that new insights will be found into the computational needs

novel methods for time stepping based on stiff ordinary differential
equation systems.
