Subject: PDE Coffee Table Book
NA-Net colleagues,
We seek advice and contributions for an ongoing collaborative project,
the "PDE Coffee Table Book".
This book, which we hope to complete next year, is distantly inspired
by Van Dyke's classic, "An Album of Fluid Motion." Our plan is to
publish a colorful volume consisting of about 75 two-page spreads, each
about a different PDE. In each case we will hold to exactly two pages
that tell the reader as interestingly and as accurately as possible
what the behavior of this PDE is, where it arises, what interesting
mathematical features it possesses, and some of the key references.
Every page contains a figure, usually of a solution computed
numerically or photographed in the laboratory, and most of them are in
color. Our hope is that this book will help promote enthusiasm for
this beautiful and important subject among students and mathematicians
and scientists and engineers around the world, and help us all to see
connections between diverse topics.
This is a collaborative project coordinated by the Numerical Analysis
and Applied Mathematics groups at Oxford. So far, about fifty people
at Oxford and elsewhere have contributed draft pages. We ask:
(1) Would you be willing to serve as an "expert reader" to improve our
current draft of one of the equations in the attached list?
(2) Would you like to volunteer to draft a page on a PDE not in the list?
(3) Can you point us to any great images of solutions of particular
PDEs (or other sources, or other equations) that we may have missed?
All contributions will be acknowledged in the published book. We are
enjoying the process as well as the product! -- and are happy to hear
from any new colleagues who may wish to participate.

Dear Lester,
Asamin provides an interface (mex file) for using ASA within
MATLAB. With asamin, you call ASA from MATLAB to search the minimum
of an objective function coded in the MATLAB language. Asamin also
offers a way to change many of ASA's run-time options. You would not
need much knowledge about the C language to use asamin, unless you
want to use an array of compilation-time options available for ASA.
Asamin is written for and tested with MATLAB 5.3 on Solaris
2.5.1. In order to run it with other versions of MATLAB or on other
platforms, you may need to make some changes to its source code.
Asamin is available from

minimum computational cost and Numerical methods preserving qualitative
features of the flow ( e.g. symplecticity, unitaryness, isospectrality,

the behaviour of numerical methods.
3) Finite Difference and Finite Element Methods for the Numerical
Solution of Partial Differential Equations. Adaptive
strategies and solution of nonlinear equations.
4) Domain Decomposition Methods for Partial Differential Equations.
New algorithms and theory for domain decomposition methods for

State University of New York at Stony Brook
Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics
The department anticipates one or more postdoctoral research positions
in computational applied mathematics starting in September 2000.
Qualified candidates must have computational experience in one
or more areas of fluid dynamics, parallel computing, hyperbolic
conservation laws, deformation of elastic and plastic media, and flow in
porous media.
Research of the candidates should mesh with that of the current faculty.

is available from the AMS home page http://www.ams.sunsyb.edu.
The department has a large research program ($3.0M annually) and one
of the mathematical science community's top computing facilities.
Applicants should send a vita, description of research interests, and
three letters of reference to: James Glimm, Chair and Distinguished
Professor, Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics,
SUNY at Stony Brook, Stony Brook, NY 11794-3600.
Applicants whose completed dossiers are received by Feb. 1, 2000 are
assured of full consideration.

Subject: Positions at Numerica, Fort Collins
Numerica, Inc. of Fort Collins, Colorado seeks highly motivated
engineers, scientists, and applied mathematicians to work in
areas of discrete optimization, estimation theory, or modeling
of physical systems as it relates to data fusion and surveillance.
Software engineering and design are also of interest.
We are looking for truly outstanding individuals who will
strive for excellence in a team oriented approach to the solution
of engineering and scientific problems. Scientific computing
experience with an object-oriented computer language and
with Matlab are highly desirable. Salary is commensurate with
experience and education. All of our technical staff positions
require US government security clearances, which in turn require
US citizenship.
