Overview

Through the use of symbolic and graphical techniques, this book
explores parametric curves, interpolation and approximation, signal
theory (sampling, filtering, reconstruction, and the sampling theorem),
quadrature, and the solution of nonlinear equations. The emphasis is
on doing rather than proving, which makes it a good precursor to more
rigorous courses in scientific computation, signals and systems, and
computer-aided geometric design. A main theme of this book is that
there is a fundamental unity among these topics that symbolic and
graphical techniques can help to amplify.

More detail on the book, including table of contents, preface and index
is available via the WWW at the URL

http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/people/elf/ssgc.html

An extensive repository of courseware is also available.

I have developed a first/second year undergraduate course based on this
material, and have taught it for several years. In my department, it
is viewed as an introduction to mathematical computation that
complements a traditional introduction to computer science. I would be
happy to chat with potential instructors about putting together a
course based on my book. I can be reached at elf@dgp.toronto.edu, or

Dear NA-NET

I have revised the Fortran 90 tutorial by Yurij Shokin and myself,
"Fortran 90 for the Fortran 77 Programmer", into an hypertext
document, complete with both internal and external links. It is
readable on WWW with Mosaic or Netscape. You can find the main page

Subject: Software for Hankel Transform Sought

Can someone recommend robust software, in double precision
if possible, for evaluating the Hankel Transform

     F(y) = integral(0 to 1) x*J_0(xy)*f(x) dx ?

A concern is that the given function in my application has
a right-hand singularity,

f(x) = g(x)/sqrt(1-x*x), smooth g(x),

and y can be very large.

Subject: Educational Finite Element Software Sought

A teaching team at the Technical University of Denmark is looking for
public domain software for use in an introductory course on the finite
element method for solving 2-D partial differential equations. The course
runs fulltime for 3 weeks and is primarily devoted to the development of
FORTRAN codes for problem solution.
Specifically, we would like to find routines for pre- and post-processing;
i.e., automatic (graphic) mesh generation and graphical presentation
of the results. The computational environment includes a HP 9000 (Model 700)
running HP-UX (Unix) v. 9.05 . Fortran is the preferred programming language.
Any help in locating FEM software for this purpose would be much
appreciated.

Subject: Multiresponse Nonlinear Least Square Fitting

Hi,

I am looking for a multiresponse nonlinear least square fitting program
(preferably in PASCAL or C++) that can be used to find the desired
parameters (such as thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity or heat
capacity) in a known nonlinear model (solution of the heat conduction
equation - sums of Bessel functions and exponentials).
The data (temperature) to be fitted depend on time (equidistant) and the
position and they were taken from 4 thermocouples attached to
the sample.

I appreciate any assitance you may be able to offer.

Subject: Band Systems Survey

Dear Colleagues,

As part of the ScaLAPACK project we intend to include software
for the solution of banded linear systems. Since algorithm
performance is greatly impacted by the characteristics of the
system being solved, we solicit your input to help us design our
software for the kinds of systems found in practice.

ScaLAPACK is a freely available software package for scalably
solving problems in numerical linear algebra on distributed
memory parallel computers. If you have a need to solve large
banded linear systems, now is the time to provide us with your
requirements.

We ask you to fill out the following short questionnaire. If
you have colleagues(engineers, physicists, or researchers in
other disciplines) who may not normally read NA-NET but who may
be working with banded matrices, we encourage you to pass this
questionnaire on to them.

We hope to receive your responses within the next few weeks. A
summary of responses will be posted to NA-NET.

________________________________________________________
| Questionnaire on the use of Banded Linear Systems |
--------------------------------------------------------

We are concerned with applications in which a requirement is the
solution of the linear system A*X = B in which A is an n x n
banded matrix. A matrix is banded if there are two parameters bl
and bu such that

i > j & (i-j) > bl -> A(i,j) = 0, and
j > i & (j-i) > bu -> A(i,j) = 0.

That is, elements in the lower triangle more than bl elements from
the main diagonal are identically zero and likewise for elements in
the upper triangle more than bu elements from the main diagonal.
Elements of the main diagonal may or may not be zero depending on
other characteristics of the problem.

The matrices X and B are n x k matrices. The j-th column of X,
X(:,j), is the solution of the system with respect to the right
hand side B(:,j).

If your work involves the solution of such systems, we would
like to ask you to fill out the following questionnaire and
e-mail to: cleary@cs.utk.edu

--------------------------Snip Here-----------------------------
Personal Details

1) Your Name:

2) Your Affiliation:

3) The nature of your project/research:

Problem characteristics

3) How many equations (n) do your banded linear systems typically have?

4) How many diagonals above/below the main diagonal (bl, bu) are non-zero?

5) How many right-hand sides (k) do you typically have at once?

6) Are your matrices symmetric/Hermitian? If so, are they
positive definite ?

7) Are your matrices diagonally dominant ? Any other
characteristics ?

7) Do you have any preference for iterative algorithms or direct algorithms ?
If direct methods are used, is partial pivoting required and
satisfactory for numerical stability?


Problem generation

8) How do banded linear systems arise in your application, in
particular, are the banded systems typically generated as stand-alone
problems, or as a step in a longer series of calculations?

10) Are you currently using parallel computers to solve these problems?

11) If you are using a parallel computer for these problems,
where are the matrices A, B and X located on entry into a
system solution routine ? Are they on disk(s), in a single
processor's (or host's) memory, or distributed amongst the processors?
If the latter, what distribution do you use?

Subject: Postdoctoral Position at MIT

POST-DOCTORAL POSITION AVAILABLE FOR STUDIES OF
NUMERICAL HYDRODYNAMICS OF UNDERWATER VEHICLES

The project for this position involves:

1. Adding lifting elements to a potential based BIEM panel code,

2. Determining forces and moments on underwater vehicles under
the influence of solid bottom boundaries and a free surface
upper boundary with sea waves on it,

3. Developing both theoretical and semi-empirical methods to
determine the net forces and moments provided by jet and
tunnel thrusters to an underwater vehicle with forward speed
and in the proximity of rigid and free surfaces.

4. Generating mathematical models of surface-induced forces and
moments on underwater vehicles and adding them to existing
computer programs for the maneuvering of underwater vehicles.

Applicants should be first and foremost fundamentally strong in
the cognizant hydrodynamic and mathematical fields, be fully
competent in the associated programming, and be familiar with
programming and use of personal computers, UNIX workstations and
supercomputers. Most of the programming is done in Fortran 77,
but some parallel machine programming may be in Fortran 90 and
some graphical I/O may be in C.

The project personnel will include a faculty member, 2 or 3
graduate students and the post-doc to be added.

Interested applicants should send a resume and names, street and
email addresses and phone numbers; by mail, by Fax or by an

Subject: Postdoctoral Position at University of Durham

FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITY FOR NUMERICAL PERSON IN NUMERICAL GEOPHYSICS

I am a geophysicist at Dept. Geological Science, Univ. Durham, U.K. and
have been working for several years making repeated survey measurements
in Iceland using a GPS satellite technique. The mid-Atlantic spreading
plate boundary passes through the middle of Iceland, and thus there is,
on average, several cm of "plate" movement in Iceland, along with large
earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. We now have an extensive set of
measurements of these movements.

Somewhat surprisingly, we have found that the motion is not regular and
"plate-like" but highly variable. What happens is that every few
hundred years there is a big event, e.g. a very large earthquake, which
causes deformations of several metres locally in the Earth's crust. The
shallow part of the Earth is well-modelled by an elastic layer about 10
km thick overlying viscoelastic material that may obey a law such as
power-law creep or Newtonian viscoelasticity. In such a structure,
large, local movements do not immediately affect distant areas, but
gradually propagate away from the source over time.

We have recently completed modelling of our results using an analytical
method that calculates motion in an elastic plate overlying a Newtonian
viscoelastic half-space. We have got some tremendously interesting
results that we expect will generate several eye-opening publications
on tectonic motions.

Our results show that the next step is to do modelling, and/or develop
new modelling tools, that can take account of three-dimensional
structural heterogeneity and more complex rheologies. A finite element
approach is one, but not the only candidate. The objective would be
to develop a powerful tool for modelling the deformation of the Earth's
crust and outer layers on a regional scale, and to explain and predict
the structure and behaviour (including the recurrence of great
earthquakes and volcanic eruptions).

I am very interested in working with a numerical person on this
project. I myself am a geophysicist, not a mathematician, so I am
looking for a colleague who might provide the latter expertise. The
Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin scholarships have come to my
notice, and my department and project certainly would fit the
requirement of "departments/disciplines where (women) are currently
under-represented at the post-doctoral level". Is there anyone out
there who is interested? A nice possibility would be for a person to be
jointly attached to my department and the maths or physics department
here - then it would be interdisciplinary too.

Durham is a wonderful old historic town with a collegiate university.
You'd love it here.
