Subject: Revamped Wavelet Digest
Dear collegues,
We are very happy to announce you that the revamped wavelet digest took off.
http://www.wavelet.org/
The Wavelet Digest was founded by Wim Sweldens. Its first issue was
released on July 24, 1992. Since then, the impact of the digest on
the community kept increasing and the number of subscribers grew up
to almost 20000 by the end of 2001. During all those years, Wim has
edited and assembled the digest. Now, the Wavelet Digest takes off
again, restyled and hosted by the Swiss Federal Institute of
Technology Lausanne (EPFL).
So if you have any information you want to send out to the
wavelet community, please submit it to the digest.
The digest will be send out depending on the number of submissions.
We do hope to have an issue about every two weeks.
To subscribe the wavelet digest please follow the link
http://www.wavelet.org/index.php?subscribe=1
With best regards,
The Wavelet Digest Team

Carl Meyer is a professor of mathematics at NCSU, where
he has been since 1968. He is well known for his work in
various areas of linear algebra, especially on matrix
generalized inverses and on finite Markov chains. Carl
is the author (with Steve Campbell) of the classic book
"Generalized Inverses of Linear Transformations" (initially
published by Pitman in 1979, republished by Dover in 1991).
His widely used textbook "Matrix Analysis and Applied Linear
Algebra" (SIAM, 2000) is one of the best-selling titles in
the SIAM catalog.
The conference is endorsed by the SIAM Activity Group in
Linear Algebra and by the International Linear Algebra
Society (ILAS).
So far, the following speakers have accepted invitations
to give a talk:
Jesse Barlow, Penn State
Gene Golub, Stanford
Ilse Ipsen, NCSU
Miki Neumann, Connecticut
Dan Pierce, Boeing

The talks will be followed by dinner at the Velvet Cloak Inn
near the NCSU campus.
There is no registration fee. However, people interested in
participating are kindly asked to register by sending email
to Amy Langville (anlangvi@unity.ncsu.edu). In their email,
they should indicate whether they intend to participate to

Theme of Meeting:
The meeting addresses two significant themes: MICROMAGNETICS and
SUPERCONDUCTIVITY. The aim is to identify the major applications in each area
where progress in computational techniques for partial differential equations
is needed and will have a significant impact. Leading experts, including
physicists, engineers, numerical analysts and theoretical PDE analysts will
deliver survey lectures on their area of expertise. The speakers have been

Structure of the meeting:
The meeting will comprise of two one-day programmes corresponding to the themes
of micromagnetics and superconductivity. Each day will consist of a survey talk
by a scientist involved in the modelling of the phenomena, a survey talk by an
engineer involved in practical applications and an overview of known
theoretical properties of the solutions of relevant models. These will be
followed by more specialised talks on the development and analysis of
state-of-the-art algorithms for their numerical approximation.

Subject: Research Positions at Texas Advanced Computing Center
The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at The University of Texas at
Austin is seeking additional computational Research Scientists and
Research Associates in High Performance Computing (HPC), Scientific
Visualization (SciVis), and Grid Computing (Grid). The new TACC
researchers will contribute to existing TACC research and development
(R&D) efforts and initiate new activities consistent with TACC's
mission.
TACC has obtained funding to deploy new leading-edge computing,
networking, visualization, and storage resources in early 2003, and new
TACC R&D is expected to enhance these resources. New research activities
are also expected to contribute to campus, state, and national
partnerships and Grids. Therefore, candidates with PhDs or experience
authoring proposals, as well as experience working on research
activities, are desired.
For more information about TACC, please see http://www.tacc.utexas.edu. For
more information about the new HPC, Scientific Visualization, and Grid
computing positions see http://www.tacc.utexas.edu/general/employment or
