Subject: Finding a use for old research journals

Has anyone solved the dilemma of what to do with old research journals?

I have several sets of SIAM journals spanning 30-40 years and am trying to
find someone who could make use of them. Given that most research scientists
have drifted almost exclusively to electronic access to research papers, one
is left to wonder how much interest there is in print copies.

Surprisingly, there appears to be very little discussion of this on the web.
Nevertheless, before relegating my old journals to the paper recycling bin, I
would like to investigate the situation further.

I'd be happy to share with anyone responses received and will make a later
submission to na-net if there is sufficient interest.

Thanks, Bob Russell (Simon Fraser University)

Subject: New book, Solving Polynomial Systems Using Continuation

Announcing the May 14, 2009 publication by SIAM of

Solving Polynomial Systems Using Continuation for Engineering and Scientific
Problems, by Alexander Morgan

2009/Approx. xxii + 316 pages/Softcover/ISBN 978-0-898716-78-8/List Price
$85.00 /SIAM Member Price $59.50/Order Code CL57

This book introduces the numerical technique of polynomial continuation,
which is used to compute solutions to systems of polynomial equations.
Originally published in 1987, it remains a useful starting point for the
reader interested in learning how to solve practical problems without
advanced mathematics.

It is easy to understand, requiring only a knowledge of undergraduate-level
calculus and simple computer programming. The book is also practical; it
includes descriptions of various industrial-strength engineering
applications and offers Fortran code for polynomial solvers on an associated
Web page. It provides a resource for high-school and undergraduate
mathematics projects.

Alexander Morgan retired in 2008 after 30 years as an industrial
mathematician with the General Motors Corporation. His research interests
include the numerical solution of systems of polynomial equations; the
development of practical knowledge systems; and, more recently, data mining,
text analysis, and information extraction for healthcare, quality, and
warranty databases.

Subject: New book, Symmetry in Chaos

Announcing the May 21, 2009 publication by SIAM of

Symmetry in Chaos: A Search for Pattern in Mathematics, Art, and Nature,
Second Edition, by Michael Field and Martin Golubitsky

Mathematical symmetry and chaos come together to form striking, beautiful
color images throughout this impressive work, which addresses how the
dynamics of complexity can produce familiar universal patterns.

The book, a richly illustrated blend of mathematics and art, was widely
hailed in publications as diverse as the New York Review of Books,
Scientific American, and Science when first published in 1992. This much-
anticipated second edition features many new illustrations and addresses the
progress made in the mathematics and science underlying symmetric chaos in
recent years; for example, the classifications of attractor symmetries and
methods for determining the symmetries of higher dimensional analogues of
images in the book.

Accessible to mathematicians and non-mathematicians alike, the book will be
especially appreciated by anyone who is scientifically literate or who has
an interest in art, design, mathematics, or computing.

Michael Field is a professor of mathematics at the University of Houston.
His research is wide ranging and includes the statistical and geometric
properties of dynamical systems, networks and symmetry. Martin Golubitsky is
Distinguished Professor of Mathematics and Physical Sciences at the Ohio
State University, where he serves as Director of the Mathematical
Biosciences Institute.

Subject: New book, A Compendium of Partial Differential Equation Models

A Compendium of Partial Differential Equation Models
Method of Lines Analysis with Matlab

by
William E. Schiesser
Lehigh University, Pennsylvania
and
Graham W. Griffiths
City University, London

Hardback (ISBN-13: 9780521519861)
Published March 2009
List Price: $99.00USD

A Compendium of Partial Differential Equation Models presents numerical
methods and associated computer codes in Matlab for the solution of a spectrum
of models expressed as partial differential equations (PDEs), one of the
mostly widely used forms of mathematics in science and engineering. The
authors focus on the method of lines (MOL), a well-established numerical
procedure for all major classes of PDEs in which the boundary value partial
derivatives are approximated algebraically by finite differences. This reduces
the PDEs to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and thus makes the computer
code easy to understand, implement, and modify. Also, the ODEs (via MOL) can
be combined with any other ODEs that are part of the model (so that MOL
naturally accommodates ODE/PDE models). This book uniquely includes a detailed
line-by-line discussion of computer code as related to the associated
equations of the PDE model.

PDP 2010 - 18th Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, Distributed
and Network-Based Computing - Pisa, Italy, February 17-19, 2010

SPECIAL SESSION ON "PARALLEL ALGORITHMS AND SOFTWARE FOR SPARSE LINEAR
ALGEBRA COMPUTATIONS" - http://www.na.icar.cnr.it/pdp2010/psla.html

The solution of linear systems, least squares problems and eigenvalue
problems involving large and sparse matrices is ubiquitous in scientific and
engineering applications and is often a very time-consuming task, thus
requiring the use of effective algorithms and software on parallel and
distributed computers. The increased availability of computing systems with
a large number of processors makes runtime efficiency, scalability,
flexibility and accuracy even more crucial in the development of such
algorithms and software. Furthermore, the emergence of multicore and
manycore processors requires to review sparse linear algebra techniques to
take advantage of the computational power offered by the new architectures.
The aim of this special session is to discuss recent advances in the
development of algorithms and software for the solution of sparse linear
algebra problems on parallel and distributed computers. The exploitation of
sparse linear algebra software within large-scale scientific simulations on
modern high-performance computers is also of interest.

DEADLINE FOR PAPER SUBMISSION: July 20, 2009.
Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society, in the PDP
2010 Conference Proceedings. For details see the special session web page.

A Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics, Theoretical Physics, or Electrical
Engineering is required. Preference will be given to candidates
with experience in computational methods for solving partial and
ordinary differential equations, a strong background in physics and
mathematics, and a strong interest in mentoring PhD students.
Experience in the modeling of optical systems is useful but not required.

Interested applicants should email a CV and the names and contact
information of three professional references to both Curtis Menyuk
