Sparse Days at CERFACS 2012
The annual Sparse Days meeting was held at CERFACS in Toulouse on 25th
and 26th June. Sixty people attended to hear sixteen talks on many
aspects of sparsity and the solution of sparse equations. There were
14 attendees from North America and 9 from European countries other
than France. Two thirds of the French attendees were from Toulouse.
The programme and pdf files of the talks or related publications are
now available on the web site:
http://www.cerfacs.fr/6-27037-Sparse-Days-2012.php
At the moment, scroll to the end for links to talks and photographs.
Direct links from the programme to each pdf file will be available from
Tuesday 17th July.
Sparse Days 2013 is planned for mid-June.

Subject: New Book, Solving Differential Equations in R
Announcing the June 7, 2012, publication by Springer of:
Solving Differential Equations in R, by
Soetaert, Karline, Cash, Jeff, Mazzia, Francesca
2012, 2012, XVI, 248 p. 63 illus., 13 in color.
Softcover Information/ ISBN 978-3-642-28069-6 List Price 51,95 €
Mathematics plays an important role in many scientific and engineering
disciplines. This book deals with the numerical solution of
differential equations, a very important branch of mathematics. Our
aim is to give a practical and theoretical account of how to solve a
large variety of differential equations, comprising ordinary
differential equations, initial value problems and boundary value
problems, differential algebraic equations, partial differential
equations and delay differential equations. The solution of
differential equations using R is the main focus of this book. It is
therefore intended for the practitioner, the student and the
scientist, who wants to know how to use R for solving differential
equations. However, it has been our goal that non-mathematicians
should at least understand the basics of the methods, while obtaining
entrance into the relevant literature that provides more mathematical
background. Therefore, each chapter that deals with R examples is
preceded by a chapter where the theory behind the numerical methods
being used is introduced.
- Numerous examples help the reader to quickly solve a variety of
differential equations in the open source software R
- Shows how R can be used as a problem solving environment, using
examples from the biological, chemical, physical, mathematical
sciences
- Introduces the theory behind solution methods of differential
equations at a basic level

Subject: School on Core Algorithms for HPC, UK, Sep 2012
Following the success of previous years, CSC/NAG are again running the
Autumn School "Core Algorithms for High Performance Scientific
Computing", 24 Sep - 28 Sep 2012 at the Centre for Scientific
Computing, Univ of Warwick.
Description: Many scientific calculations can be cast as problems in
computational linear algebra and optimisation. Powerful algorithms for
such problems form a common core of most scientific software. This
school will develop a solid grounding in the mathematics of these
algorithms; discuss the efficient implementation in a range of
standard libraries and demonstrate effective use in real,
high-performance scientific applications.
Aimed at: This school is ideal for beginning PhD students or Postdocs
in all scientific disciplines wishing to make effective use of
substantial computational resources to tackle new scientific problems.
Attendance is free to HECToR users and UK academics within the remit
of one of the participating research councils (EPSRC, NERC and BBSRC).
Further information is available at:
http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/csc/teaching/modules/cy902n
In the past this school has been oversubscribed. Participants are
encouraged to register early to avoid disappointment.

Dear friends,
We are currently organizing a conference to help celebrate John
Butcher's 80th birthday. The conference will be held in Auckland, in
early January 2013.
At this time no programme or budget has been set, but what we would
like to know is how many of you might come; that is, at this stage we
are looking for ``expressions of interest'', not committments.
Replies should be sent to Robert Chan (<chan@math.auckland.ac.nz>)
with a cc to Ilias Kotsireas <ikotsire@wlu.ca>.
We hope to see you in sunny summer New Zealand in January!
