Subject: Survey, Computational Science & Eng Grad Programs

We would like to collect information on computational science and
engineering (CSE) graduate programs that are in place today. This
survey is designed to assess the prevalence of Computational Science
and Engineering (CSE) programs in universities throughout the
world. We want to see how these CSE programs are built and
implemented, and where they reside within the university system at
their respective institutions. The purpose is to look at the
similarities and differences of the programs and to provide guidance
on modeling future programs.

If you have a graduate program in computational science and
engineering at your university, we would like to ask you to take a
brief survey to add your program to the database we are collecting. We
plan to produce a brief report describing the current state of the CSE
graduate programs worldwide.

You can find the survey at: http://icl.cs.utk.edu/survey/

Thanks,

Subject: New Book, Alternating Projection Methods

Announcing the Sept 22, 2011, publication by SIAM of:

Alternating Projection Methods, by Ren=E9 Escalante and Marcos Raydan

2011 / x + 129 pages / Softcover / ISBN 978-1-611971-93-4 /
List Price $60.00 / SIAM Member Price $42.00 / Order Code FA08

This book describes and analyzes all available alternating projection
methods for solving the general problem of finding a point in the
intersection of several given sets belonging to a Hilbert space. For
each method the authors describe and analyze convergence, speed of
convergence, acceleration techniques, stopping criteria, and
applications. Different types of algorithms and applications are
studied for subspaces, linear varieties, and general convex sets. The
authors also unify these algorithms into a common theoretical
framework.

It can be used as a textbook for advanced undergraduate or first-year
graduate students and also as a tutorial or a reference by
mathematicians and nonmathematicians who need to solve alternating
projection problems in their work.

Contents: Preface; Chapter 1: Introduction; Chapter 2: Overview on
Spaces; Chapter 3: The MAP on Subspaces; Chapter 4: Row-Action
Methods; Chapter 5: Projecting on Convex Sets; Chapter 6: Applications

Subject: New Book, The Mathematics of Diffusion

Announcing the September 26, 2011, publication by SIAM of:

The Mathematics of Diffusion, by Wei-Ming Ni
2011 / xii + 110 pages / Softcover / ISBN 978-1-611971-96-5 /
List Price $60.00 / SIAM Member Price $42.00 / Order Code CB82

Diffusion has been used extensively in many scientific disciplines to
model a wide variety of phenomena. This book focuses on the
qualitative properties of solutions to nonlinear elliptic and
parabolic equations and systems in connection with domain geometry,
various boundary conditions, the mechanism of different diffusion
rates, and the interaction between diffusion and spatial
heterogeneity.

It systematically explores the interplay between different diffusion
rates from the viewpoint of pattern formation, particularly Turing=92s
diffusion=96driven instability in both homogeneous and heterogeneous
environments, and the roles of random diffusion, directed movements,
and spatial heterogeneity in the classical Lotka=96Volterra competition
systems.

Contents: Preface; Chapter 1. Introduction: The Heat Equation; Chapter
2. Dynamics of General Reaction-Diffusion Equations and Systems;
Chapter 3. Qualitative Properties of Steady States of
Reaction-Diffusion Equations and Systems; Chapter 4. Diffusion in
Heterogeneous Environments: 2 x 2 Lotka=96 Volterra Competition Systems;

Subject: IMA Maths of Surfaces, UK, Sep 2013

14th IMA Conference on Mathematics of Surfaces
11 =96 13 September 2013, University of Birmingham (tbc)

Computer-based methods for the capture, construction, representation,
fitting, interrogation and manipulation of complicated surfaces have
led to a wide interest in, and need for, the mathematics of surfaces
and related curves. Many applications require the use of surface
descriptions, especially in such fields as computer aided design and
manufacturing, computer graphics and computer vision.

Three types of papers are sought:
- Research papers presenting new developments in the capture,
representation, manipulation, approximation, fitting, and design of
surfaces, with an emphasis on computational methods and their
underlying mathematical principles.
- Research papers covering novel practical applications of surface
mathematics in areas such as CAD, computer vision, computer
graphics, geographic information systems, and architecture,
especially those which pose new problems for the research community.
- Survey papers describing the state of the art of an aspect of the
mathematics of surfaces.

Abstracts of up to 500 words for contributed papers are invited (in
any of the categories outlined above) before the end of September
2012. These should be submitted to the IMA Conferences Department,
either online at http://online.ima.org.uk/ or by email to
conferences@ima.org.uk. Full papers of accepted abstracts must be
submitted by the end of December 2012.

mathematics. While appointments are expected to be made at the
Assistant Professor level, more senior applicants would be
considered. The appointment is expected to be in the broad area of
differential equations and scientific computing. Applicants should
have expertise in both analytical and computational aspects, and an
active interest in problems driven by applications.

Candidates must have a doctoral degree at the date of appointment and
a strong background in mathematics. They are expected to have
demonstrated the capacity for independent research of excellent
quality. Selection criteria include research accomplishments, as well
as potential contributions to the Department=92s educational programs at
the graduate and undergraduate levels.

Applications should be made through MathJobs.Org (Position ID:
McGill-APNUM) and must include a curriculum vitae, a list of
publications, a research outline, a teaching statement which includes
an account of teaching experience, and at least four references (with
one addressing the teaching record). Candidates are also encouraged
to provide web links for up to three selected reprints or preprints,
or to upload them to MathJobs.Org.

To ensure full consideration, complete applications including letters
of reference should be received by January 6th 2012, but later
applications may be considered.

McGill University is committed to equity in employment and

required to contribute to developing, supporting and maintaining the
Group's internationally renowned software libraries HSL and GALAHAD.

This is an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic PhD with a strong
research background in numerical analysis and computational
mathematics. In addition, applicants should have considerable
experience of programming (with expertise in Fortran strongly
preferred). Knowledge of UNIX-based systems and experience of modern
computer architectures would be an advantage.

Candidates should possess excellent communication skills in both
spoken and written English and must be able to work effectively both
on their own and as part of a small team.

Salary is in the range =A326,610 to =A337,534 per annum, dependent on
