Subject: FILTLAN v1.0a Software Released
We are happy to announce the release FILTLAN [version 1.0a]. This is a
package for computing a large number of eigenvalues located at one end
of, or well inside, the spectrum of a symmetric (real) matrix, along
with associated eigenvectors. It is based on a combination of the
Lanczos procedure with partial reorthogonalization and polynomial
filtering. Here are a few features of FILTLAN:
1) Written in C++;
2) Provides mex files for use under MATLAB and OCTAVE;
3) Provides the option of using Lanczos as a stand-alone program;
4) Includes a C++ library (MATKIT) for effective sparse matrix
computations.
To access the package or to learn more about it, see:

Subject: New Book, Classroom Research Projects in Sci Comp
"Keeping it R.E.A.L.: Research Experiences for All Learners" is now
available as an eBook and hard copy through the MAA. This classroom
resource book is a collection of computational classroom projects that
are suitable for a wide-range of undergraduate students, from those
with minimal computational exposure and precalculus background to
upper-level students in a numerical analysis course. Each project is
class tested, and most were presented as posters at regional
conferences. These projects are fun and have inspired many students
to continue their study of mathematics either through more courses or
an undergraduate research experience. The most significant impact has
been providing students with a research experience who would normally
not apply for one.
Each project is carefully designed to inspire critical thinking and
mathematical inquiry. This book also contains background subject
information for each project, grading rubrics, and directions for
further research. Instructors can use these materials inside or
outside the classroom to inspire creativity and encourage
undergraduate research.
The book is available through the MAA in print copy or downloadable
pdf format from MAA's eBookstore:

Prof. Dr. Sebastian Noelle
IGPM, RWTH Aachen
+49-241-809 3953
http://www.igpm.rwth-aachen.de/noelle
I am offering a two year position for a PhD student or Post-doc. In
the case of a PhD student, the position is extendable to cover a
complete PhD period. The salary is according to the German civil
service TV-L E 13 scale. The candidate will be employed as a regular
employee on a 75 percent time position. The position is to be filled
as soon as possible.
My group is part of the Institute of Geometry and Applied Mathematics
(IGPM), which is the numerical analysis group within the Department of
Mathematics at the renowned RWTH Aachen University of Technology,
Germany. This Institute collaborates closely with the RWTH
computational science and engineering groups CCES
(http://www.cces.rwth-aachen.de/), AICES
(http://www.aices.rwth-aachen.de/) and GRS (http://www.grs-sim.de/),
which create a very stimulating environment. You will have regular
weekly discussion time with myself, as well as other colleagues.
The project in which you will participate is funded by the German
Science Foundation (DFG). Together with Professor Lukacova, University
of Mainz, and other colleagues, we are developing and expanding a
novel finite volume discretization of multidimensional hyperbolic
systems of conservation laws. Particular focus is given to the famous
low Mach number limit of compressible/incompressible fluid dynamics.
Besides participating in the development of new ideas, you will be
responsible to implement the new algorithms into an already written,
well-structured C++ code.
We expect that you have a master degree in mathematics, computational
engineering or a related field. In particular, you should have a solid
knowledge of pde's (ideally hyperbolic conservation laws), numerical
analysis and C++.

Subject: PhD Position, Univ of Strathclyde, Scotland
A 3.5 year EPSRC-funded studentship is available from October 2011 to
develop new computational methods for large-scale problems in
variational data assimilation. The student will be based in the
Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing group in the Department of
Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Strathclyde in
Scotland (http://www.mathstat.strath.ac.uk/research/groups/nasc), and
supervised by Dr Alison Ramage together with Dr Igor Gejadze and Dr
Graham Copeland in the Water Resources group in the Department of
Civil Engineering
(http://www.strath.ac.uk/civeng/research/environmentresearchgroup/water/).
As the project is closely linked to work carried out at the French
national research institute INRIA (in Grenoble), it is anticipated
that the student may also some spend some time in France during the
project.
Variational data assimilation problems play a vital role in areas of
environmental modelling such as weather prediction, oceanography,
river hydraulics, groundwater modelling, pollutant transport and
environmental forensics. As a result, methods of data assimilation are
becoming increasingly important tools for analysis and prediction of
complex physical phenomena in various fields of science, engineering
and technology. The purpose of this project is to develop efficient
numerical techniques in this area.
Applicants should have, or be expecting to obtain in the near future,
a First Class or good Upper Second honours degree (or equivalent) in
mathematics, engineering or a mathematical science. An interest in
computational mathematics is essential, and some experience of
programming would also be desirable. The studentship is available for
UK/EU candidates subject to specific eligibility criteria (see
http://www.strath.ac.uk/dta/furtherinformation/eligibility/ for full
details). Details of how to apply can be found at
http://www.mathstat.strath.ac.uk/applying/postgraduate/applications.
