Comput. MathsMath. Phys. Vol. 17, pp. 221-222, of the paper "AN ALGORITHM FOR THE MULTIPLICATION OF TWO QUATERNIONS" by O.M. Makarov, contains a misprint in the main formula (3), although the derivation is correct. The last two elements should be swapped, so that the vector reads $[a_0b_0 a_3b_2 a_1b_3 a_2b_1]$, as can easily be checked by performing the multiplicaton $[a_0 a_1 a_2 a_3] L_2$. The error already occurs in the Russian original cited in the translation as Zh. vjkhisl. Mat. mat. Fiz., 17,6, 1574-1575,1977. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Kris ONeill oneill@siam.org Date: April 19, 2019 Subject: New Book, Numerical Analysis: Theory and Experiments Numerical Analysis:Theory and Experiments by Brian Sutton This textbook develops the fundamental skills of numerical analysis: designing numerical methods, implementing them in computer code, and analyzing their accuracy and efficiency. A number of mathematical problems---interpolation, integration, linear systems, zero finding, and differential equations---are considered, and some of the most important methods for their solution are demonstrated and analyzed. Notable features include the development of Chebyshev methods alongside more classical ones, a dual emphasis on theory and experimentation, the use of linear algebra to solve problems from analysis, and many examples and exercises. exercises. 2019 / xvi + 431 pages / Softcover / 978-1-611975-69-7 / List $94.00 / SIAM Member $65.80 / OT161 See more details here: http://bookstore.siam.org/ot161/ ------------------------------------------------------- From: Luca Paglieri luca.paglieri@polimi.it Date: April 18, 2019 Subject: Modelling the Cardiac Function - iHEART, Italy, Jul 2019 Please note the deadline for abstract submission: April 30, 2019 2019 RISM Congress iHEART - Modelling the Cardiac Function 22-24 July 2019 - Varese (Italy) http://iheart.polimi.it/mcf2019 This congress, organised in the context of the prestigious Riemann International School of Mathematics, aims at focusing on the state of the art in the mathematical modelling and numerical simulation of the cardiac function and its clinical applications.

The conference will be held February 11-13, 2020, Seattle, Washington, U.S. It will be co-located with SIAM PP20 conference, February 12-15, 2020. Research in CSC involves identifying a scientific computing problem arising in a relevant application area, representing this problem using a combinatorial or graph model, describing the corresponding graph problem, finding an algorithmic approach to its solution, and carrying out a theoretical and/or experimental analysis of the approach. Contributions involving any aspect of this workflow are welcome. Authors are invited to submit both full papers and extended abstracts. All submissions must present original unpublished research. Full papers may be up to 10 pages in length. The accepted full papers will be included in the proceedings published by SIAM (the same publishing platform is used by SODA, ALENEX, ANALCO, etc.). The proceedings of the previous workshop, CSC18, are at https://epubs.siam.org/doi/book/10.1137/1.9781611975215. Short abstracts could be up to 2 pages in length and should describe preliminary results for presentation as talks at the workshop, but these abstracts will not be included in the proceedings. Submissions should use the LaTeX macros at http://www.siam.org/proceedings/macros.php (authors using other software should adhere to the same double- column 11pt format). The record of the earlier CSC Workshops is available at www.csc- research.org. Submission will be handled through EasyChair. Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csc20 First submission deadline: August 1, 2019 Notification of Early Decision: October 1, 2019 Second submission deadline: November 15, 2019 (both new and revised manuscript) Notification of Final Decision: November 30, 2019 Applications to submit posters: February 10, 2020 ------------------------------------------------------- From: MACC UR macc@urosario.edu.co Date: April 18, 2019 Subject: Faculty Positions, Applied Math & Computer Sci, U Rosario, Col The Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science at Universidad del Rosario in Bogota - Colombia - is opening several Assistant Professor positions.

This work forms part of a joint NERC-NSF funded project between Professor Ted Johnson at University College London and Professor William Dewar of Florida State University on boundary models for the ocean. The project will investigate the hypothesis that there is a gap between the very high spatial and temporal resolution required in global ocean models to accurately resolve the flow near ocean boundaries and the lower resolution in both space and time required to resolve the motion of the ocean interior. The aim is to produce a dynamical boundary model that can exploit this gap to allow more accurate simulations at lower computational cost while simultaneously increasing our knowledge of boundary mixing processes. Resposibilities: Carrying out vigorous, high-level research into coupling nonlinear wave models for ocean boundary dynamics to global circulation models. This should include investigating the extension of the theory in the paper "A coupled model of interior balanced and boundary flow" by Deremble, Dewar and Johnson [Ocean Modelling, vol 119, pp 1-12 (2017)] into more general scenarios. Desirable: Interest and research experience in at least some of the following areas: the theory of nonlinear wave dynamics, the numerical treatment of hyperbolic equations, asymptotic analysis of geophysical equations, global ocean circulation models. This post is based at UCL and available from 1 July 2019. Salary will be UCL Grade 7, point 29-32, which is 35,328 - 38,303 per annum inclusive of London Allowance. This post is funded for 3 years in the first instance.
