Subject: Software: a MATLAB package of adaptive finite element methods

AFEM@matlab is a MATLAB package of adaptive finite element methods
(AFEMs) for stationary and evolution partial differential equations
in two spatial dimensions. It contains robust, efficient, and easy-
following codes for the main building blocks of AFEMs. This will
benefit not only the education of the methods but also future
research and algorithmic development.

Our package can be useful for education, communication, and research.
More precisely, it will (1) speed up program development; (2)
facilitate comparisons of ideas and results; (3) improve academic
publications. We summarize and emphasis the main features of our
package as the following:
• It includes newest development of AFEMs.
• It is concise and easy to follow.
• It can be easily modified for other problems and languages

Details and download links can be found at

http://longchen.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_longchen_archive.html

This package is developed with Chen-Song Zhang at Univesity of Maryland.

Enjoy!

Subject: FoCM'08 Conference, Jun 2008

First Announcement
Foundations of Computational Mathematics Conference
Hong Kong, June 2008

The next Foundations of Computational Mathematics conference will take
place at the City University of Hong Kong in Hong Kong, China, on 16-26
June 2008.

The conference, organised by the Society for Foundations of Computational
Mathematics, is the sixth in a sequence that commenced with the Park City,
Rio de Janeiro, Oxford, Minneapolis and Santander FoCM meetings.

The conference will follow a well-tested format: plenary invited lectures
in the mornings and theme-centred parallel workshops in the afternoons.

The FoCM conferences are designed to bring together workers in
computational mathematics and theoreticians in mathematics and in computer
science. While presenting plenary talks by foremost world authorities and
maintaining the highest technical level in the workshops, the emphasis
will be on multidisciplinary interaction across subjects and disciplines,
in an informal and friendly atmosphere. We hope that it will be an
opportunity
to meet colleagues from different subject areas and identify the
wide-ranging (and often surprising) common denominator of our research.

The preliminary website of the conference is at
http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/na/FoCM/FoCM08/, where a list of the
workshops and their organizers can be found. More information about FoCM
and details of previous FoCM conferences can also be obtained there.

Subject: IMA Membership Opportunities 2007-2008

The Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) at the
University of Minnesota announces membership opportunities in
connection with its 2007-2008 thematic program on

Mathematics of Molecular and Cellular Biology

Individuals may apply for four classes of membership at the IMA in
connection with the 2007-2008 thematic program:

* IMA Postdoctoral Memberships
* IMA Industrial Postdoctoral Memberships
* IMA General Memberships
* IMA New Directions Visiting Professorships

IMA POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS provide an excellent opportunity for
mathematical scientists near the beginning of their career who have a
background in and/or an interest in learning about mathematical
aspects of molecular and cellular biology. IMA postdoctoral
fellowships run one to two years, at the option of the holder,
starting September 1, 2007. In the second year of the appointment
there are a variety of options to enhance career development,
including participation in the 2008-2009 academic year program on
Mathematics and Chemistry, teaching, and working on an industrial
project. Postdoctoral fellows receive a salary of $50,000 annually,
and a travel allowance. Documentation of completion of all
requirements for a doctoral degree in mathematics or a related area is
required by the start of the appointment and within the last three
years. (deadline January 5, 2007)

IMA INDUSTRIAL POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS are designed to prepare
mathematicians for research careers in industry or involving
industrial interaction. IMA industrial postdoctoral fellowships run
two years starting September 1, 2007. They are funded jointly by the
IMA and an industrial sponsor, and holders devote 50% effort to their
own research and the IMA program and 50% effort working with
industrial scientists. Industrial postdoctoral fellows receive a
salary of $50,000 annually, and a travel allowance. Documentation of
completion of all requirements for a doctoral degree in mathematics or
a related area is required by the start of the appointment and within
the last three years. (deadline January 5, 2007)

IMA GENERAL MEMBERSHIPS provide an opportunity for mathematicians and
scientists employed elsewhere to spend a period of one month to one
year in residence at the IMA, and to participate in the 2007-2008
thematic program. The residency should fall in the period September
2007 through June 2008 (in special cases extending into the summer
months). Logistic support such as office space, computer facilities,
and secretarial support will be provided, and local expenses may be
provided. Preference will be given to supplementary support for
persons with sabbatical leaves, fellowships, or other stipends. The
research interests of General Members must relate to the thematic
program and a doctoral degree is normally expected. Applications may
be submitted at any time until the end of the thematic program, and
will be considered as long as funds remain available. (applications
considered immediately and until funds are exhausted)

IMA NEW DIRECTIONS VISITING PROFESSORSHIPS provide an extraordinary
opportunity for established mathematicians -- typically mid-career
faculty at US universities -- to branch into new directions and
increase the impact of their research by spending the 2007-2008
academic year immersed in the thematic program at the IMA. Visiting
Professors will enjoy an excellent research environment and
stimulating scientific program connecting molecular and cellular
biology with a broad range of mathematical fields. New Directions
Visiting Professors are expected to be resident and active
participants in the program but are not assigned formal duties. The
New Directions program will supply 50% of academic year salary up to
$50,000 maximum. Applications must include a letter from the
applicant's department chair indicating that the home institution will
provide a minimum of 50% of academic year salary and all health and
other relevant fringe benefits. (deadline January 5, 2007)

All IMA members are provided with an excellent and extremely
stimulating research environment and connection with a large community
of first class researchers. The IMA is a national institute whose
mission is to increase the impact of mathematics by fostering research
of a truly interdisciplinary nature, linking mathematics of the
highest caliber and important scientific and technological problems
from other disciplines and industry. Allied with this mission, the IMA
also aims 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 its primary funding from the National
Science Foundation.

Application forms and instructions are available at
www.ima.umn.edu/docs/ . More information on the IMA is available at
www.ima.umn.edu, and information on the 2007-2008 thematic program is
at www.ima.umn.edu/2007-2008 . Questions may be directed to
applications@ima.umn.edu for postdoctoral fellowships and general
membership applications or to ndprof@ima.umn.edu for New Directions
professorships.
