Subject: New Book, Multilinear Algebra
Russell Merris, Multilinear Algebra, Gordon & Breach,
Amsterdam, 1997, 332 + viii pages; ISBN: 90-5699-078-0.
Ideally suited for a fourth year undergraduate "capstone"
course, Multilinear Algebra is also an attractive choice for a
beginning graduate course and/or as a research reference. The first
four chapters consist of self-contained introductions to those
prerequisite notions beyond the standard third year undergraduate
courses in abstract and linear algebra.
Apart from applications to graph theory and the "excursion" into
Invariant Theory, the use of Schur functions as a unifying vehicle in
the final chapter may be of particular interest to combinatorialists.
Contents:
1. Partitions
Applications to Graphs
2. Inner Product Spaces
Applications to Graphs
3. Permutation Groups
Applications to Symmetry
4. Group Representation Theory
5. Tensor Spaces
6. Symmetry Classes of Tensors
Applications to the Theory of Enumeration
The Enumeration of Graphs
Applications to NMR Spectroscopy
7. Generalized Matrix Functions
An Excursion into Invariant Theory
Applications to Graphs
8. The Rational Representations of GL(n,C)
Applications to Graphs

Subject: New Version of Schwarz-Christoffel Toolbox for MATLAB
Version 2 of the Schwarz-Christoffel Toolbox for MATLAB is now
available at
http://amath.colorado.edu/appm/faculty/tad/SC-toolbox/
It requires version 5.0 of MATLAB. New features:
o Cross-ratio formulation for mulitply elongated regions
o Exploits new object-oriented paradigm in M5
o Improved graphical interface
The Schwarz-Christoffel Toolbox is an M-file suite for the computation
and visualization of conformal maps to simply connected regions
bounded by polygons. For more information, visit

I have put a postscript DRAFT of my paper,
An Annotated Bibliography for Post-solution Analysis in
Mixed Integer Programming and Combinatorial Optimization
at http://www-math.cudenver.edu/~hgreenbe/papers/mipsurvey.ps
(also compressed as mipsurvey.ps.gz).
I still await several papers from my Inter-Library Loan service (indicated
by ILL in the annotation). If you have the paper or (better yet) an
e-mail address of an author, please send it to me asap.
I would appreciate your comments, especially learning of any work I
missed, but please do not distribute this draft. It will be officially
released in September.
Thanks,
