Subject: A New Application of Interval Computations
A new, exciting application of interval computations
Thomas C. Hales from the University of Michigan has been using interval
computations in his reasearch on the Kepler Conjecture
(on the densest arrangment of spheres in space).
This is a work-in-progress; preliminary results, preprints, and references
can be found at the following URL:
http://www.math.lsa.umich.edu/~hales/kepler.html
This information can also be accessed from the Applications part of the
Interval Computations website

Subject: More Afternotes on Numerical Analysis
Recently I published a collection of lectures entitled Afternotes on
Numerical Analysis. The unusual name reflects the unusual way they
were produced. Instead of writing the notes and giving the lectures,
I gave the lectures and then wrote the notes\,---\,in real time, two
lectures a week. In preparing the notes I hoped to bring the
immediacy of the classroom to the printed page and give an uncluttered
presentation that could be used for self
I have just completed a new set of afternotes and have posted them on
the web. The original afternotes were based on an advanced
undergraduate course taught at the University of Maryland. The
present notes are based on the follow-up graduate course. The topics
treated are approximation\,---\,discrete and continuous\,---\,linear
and quadratic splines, eigensystems, and Krylov sequence methods. The
notes conclude with two little lectures on classical iterative methods
and nonlinear equations
The notes may be obtained by anonymous ftp at thales.cs in
/pub/afternotes| or by browsing my homepage
http://www.cs.umd.edu/~stewart/. I will be grateful for any comments,
corrections, or suggestions.

Subject: StopWatch Version 1.0 Available
I am pleased to announce the availability of StopWatch Version 1.0.
StopWatch is a Fortran 90 module for measuring execution time of program
segments. It is designed to be a portable, easy-to-use means of measuring
execution time. It supports the wall clock, CPU clock, a breakdown of the
CPU clock into user and system times, and returns all times in seconds.
It provides a simple means of determining which clocks are available,
and the precision of those clocks.
StopWatch is used by instrumenting your code with subroutine calls that
mimic the operation of a stop watch. The primary routines are start_watch,
stop_watch, reset_watch, read_watch and print_watch. StopWatch supports
multiple watches, and provides the concept of watch groups to allow functions
to operate on multiple watches simultaneously.
The StopWatch package includes the source code for the StopWatch module,
several example programs with makefiles for many computational environments,
a user's guide in postscript and html formats, and man pages.
This is version 1.0 of StopWatch. It has been tested with NAGWare F90
(SunOS 4.1.3, Linux and HPUX), EPC Fortran 90 (SunOS 4.1.3), Digital Fortran 90
(Digital UNIX), CF90 (UNICOS), XLF (AIX), HP Fortran 90 (HPUX), Absoft F90
(MacOS), Fujitsu Fortran 90 (Solaris), Sunsoft F90 (Solaris), F (Linux, AIX),
and Lahey Elf90 (Windows NT).
The User's Guide and StopWatch package can be accessed through WWW at the URL
http://math.nist.gov/StopWatch
The StopWatch package can also be obtained by anonymous ftp to math.nist.gov in
/pub/mitchell/stopwatch/stopwatch-1.0.tgz. This is a gzipped tar file.

Subject: Multiscale Phenomena, Modelling and Computation
Research Workshop of the Israel Science Foundation
MULTISCALE PHENOMENA, MODELLING AND COMPUTATION
March 2-7, 1997. Neptune Hotel, Eilat, Israel
Workshop Organizers: Secretary:
Achi Brandt, Weizmann Institute Carol Weintraub

The nature of the interactions between different scales of phenomena
in a complex system is the focus of interest in an increasingly wider
range of scientific fields. This interest originated independently
in theoretical physics and in computational mathematics.
Like the first Eilat workshop (February, 1995) the purpose of this
second one is to bring together different communities of researchers
having the common interest of studying the different ways in which
inter-scale interactions occur in nature and can be devised and
exploited in calculations. This time, computational chemistry will
be added as one of the main themes.
The participants include computational physicists, chemists and
mathematicians. The physicists are mainly from the field theory and
statistical mechanics communities, especially in the theoretical and/or
simulation aspects of renormalization group, criticality and universality,
with interest in the more general theory of dynamical and complex phenomena
and/or in their computational aspects. The chemists bring special interest
in ab initio quantum calculation and in large scale molecular dynamics.
The participating mathematicians will represent several research
communities which have adopted different versions of multiscale scientific
computation: multigrid, multipole, hierarchical bases, wavelets, and
other relatives.
More information about the workshop, its scientific background, mode of
organization and location, including details on travel, climate, prices,
accommodations, services, social program, etc. is available at the above
Web site, together with registration, accommodation and travel forms.
This information can also be received via email, fax or regular mail by
request from the conference secretary: Carol Weintraub, Department of
Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, Weizmann Institute of Science,
Rehovot 76100, Email: carol@wisdom.weizmann.ac.il, Tel: +972-8-9343545,
Fax: +972-8-9344122.
Because time is short, hearing soon from anybody who intends to
participate would be appreciated. The number of rooms in the hotels at
the conference rate is, unfortunately, limited, so it is advisable to
complete the accommodation forms as soon as possible.
