Subject: Thank you to the NA Digest community

In the NA Digest on Monday, Feb. 09, 2015 v.15 n. 06, I'd written in
about an open letter to the NSF communicating the importance of the
Institute for Mathematics and its Applications in Minneapolis to many
in our community.

There have been over 1000 signatures added to the letter since
then. So, a big 'thank you!' to the members of the NA-Digest
readership who have expressed their support.

The text of the letter, and a list of the signatories, is available
here: https://sites.google.com/site/friendsoftheima/

IMA International Conference on
Barriers and Enablers to Learning Maths:
Enhancing Learning and Teaching for All Learners
10 – 12 June 2015
University of Glasgow, Glasgow, Scotland

This is the first international conference of the Institute of
Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) about approaches to teaching
and learning mathematics. Mathematics should be understood in the
widest possible sense to cover all aspects of mathematics, including
number, pure mathematics, applied mathematics, statistics and the full
range of applications of mathematics.

The conference is organised into the following four tracks, with the
list of topics under each track illustrative rather than exclusive:
- Motivation and maths anxiety
- Inclusive practice and learners’ particular requirements
- Effective practice: what does and does not work
- The use of technology

Submission of papers and proposals for special thematic sessions was
invited to the above tracks. In addition proposals were invited for
working sessions to develop working groups on recommendations on
particular topics related to the conference theme.

Subject: IMA Numerical Methods for Simulation, UK, Sep 2015

Developments in numerical methods underpin simulations in many ways,
for example in any area where high dimensional problems are governed
by differential equations. Computational fluid dynamics has driven
many developments in this area; however there is a wide range of
application areas where the problems, and indeed solution techniques
may be similar. Numerical methods are important in diverse areas such
as geophysical modelling, fluid-structure interaction,
high-dimensional dynamical systems, weather prediction, climate
modelling, oil reservoir simulation, and so on. The conference will
bring together application specialists, applied mathematicians,
numerical analysts and computational scientists who develop and use
numerical simulations. Applications which focus on data assimilation,
inverse problems, uncertainties or control, which contain as a major
component a high-dimensional forward model, will also be represented.

Conference themes: Higher-order discretization methods; Methods for
uncertainty quantification; Multi-physics / multi-material /
multi-scale simulation; High performance computing (including energy
efficient algorithms and algorithms for emerging architectures);
Optimization / control / design / inverse problems; Numerical analysis
/ numerical linear algebra and preconditioning

Abstracts are requested for contributed talks in any area consistent
with the conference themes. Talks will be accepted for either oral or
poster presentation on the basis of a one- page extended abstract in
PDF format, which should be sent via email to conferences@ima.org.uk
by Friday 27 March 2015.

Date: February 19, 2015
Subject: PhD Position, Computational Science, ETH Zurich

PhD position in the Parallel and High Performance Computing research
group of the Computer Science Department at ETH Zurich on the topic of

Large scale shape optimization for accelerator cavities

The design of Radio Frequency (RF) cavity structures is a complex
optimization process. RF cavity structures are elements in which
charged particles are accelerated by an oscillating electric field
which is generated by exciting the proper eigenmode of the accelerator
cavity. The eigenmodes as well as their frequencies are determined by
the shape of the cavity.

The proposed work consists in developing a highly parallel tool for
the optimization of the shape of the accelerating cavity structures
and of the beam dynamics, based on multi-objective PDE constrained
optimization and uncertainty quantification.

Profile and requirements:
- Master in Computational Science and Engineering, Applied
Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science or similar, with excellent
study results.
- Strong background in computational mathematics or computational
physics and some proven track record in implementing numerical
algorithms on HPC hardware.
- Fluent in English; willingness to work on an interdisciplinary
project.

For more information see http://people.inf.ethz.ch/arbenz/#projects

Applicants are invited to send a motivation letter, detailed CV
(including courses, grades, publications) and contact info of at
least two references (including email addresses and phone numbers)
to Prof. Dr. Peter Arbenz (arbenz@inf.ethz.ch).
