Subject: Misprint in article on quaternion multiplication


The English translation, in U.S.S.R. Comput. MathsMath. Phys. Vol.
17, pp. 221-222, of the paper "AN ALGORITHM FOR THE MULTIPLICATION OF
TWO QUATERNIONS" by O.M. Makarov, contains a misprint in the main
formula (3), although the derivation is correct. The last two elements
should be swapped, so that the vector reads $[a_0b_0 a_3b_2 a_1b_3
a_2b_1]$, as can easily be checked by performing the multiplicaton
$[a_0 a_1 a_2 a_3] L_2$. The error already occurs in the Russian
original cited in the translation as Zh. vjkhisl. Mat. mat. Fiz.,
17,6, 1574-1575,1977.

Subject: New Book, Numerical Analysis: Theory and Experiments


Numerical Analysis:Theory and Experiments
by Brian Sutton

This textbook develops the fundamental skills of numerical analysis:
designing numerical methods, implementing them in computer code, and
analyzing their accuracy and efficiency. A number of mathematical
problems---interpolation, integration, linear systems, zero finding,
and differential equations---are considered, and some of the most
important methods for their solution are demonstrated and
analyzed. Notable features include the development of Chebyshev
methods alongside more classical ones, a dual emphasis on theory and
experimentation, the use of linear algebra to solve problems from
analysis, and many examples and exercises. exercises.

now organized by the University Mohammed I, the University of Granada
and the University of Turin.

The scope of the Conference includes, but it is not limited to
Approximation and modeling applied to environment sciences and natural
resources; New applications and developments in approximation methods;
Numerical methods for partial differential equations; Numerical
methods for nonlinear problems; Mathematical methods in image
processing; Optimization methods and applications to natural
phenomena; Computational statistics and applications; Mathematics and

media; Stochastic partial differential equations

MACMAS invites to present unpublished research advances in the form of
oral or poster communications. After pre-registration (now open),
manuscripts must be written in LaTeX format by using the provided
LaTeX template, without limitation of the number of pages. All
accepted papers will be published as a special publication with an
ISBN number (electronic edition). Selected papers will be considered
for publication in a special issue of Mathematics and Computers in
Simulation (Elsevier).

Subject: SIAM Combinatorial Scientific Computing, USA, Feb 2020


SIAM CSC20 provides a top-tier forum for presenting original research
on the design, implementation, application, and evaluation of
combinatorial algorithms and data structures that arise from problems
in computational science, computational engineering, and data science.
The conference will be held February 11-13, 2020, Seattle, Washington,
U.S. It will be co-located with SIAM PP20 conference, February 12-15,
2020. Research in CSC involves identifying a scientific computing
problem arising in a relevant application area, representing this
problem using a combinatorial or graph model, describing the
corresponding graph problem, finding an algorithmic approach to its
solution, and carrying out a theoretical and/or experimental analysis
of the approach. Contributions involving any aspect of this workflow
are welcome. Authors are invited to submit both full papers and
extended abstracts. All submissions must present original unpublished
research. Full papers may be up to 10 pages in length. The accepted
full papers will be included in the proceedings published by SIAM (the
same publishing platform is used by SODA, ALENEX, ANALCO, etc.). The
proceedings of the previous workshop, CSC18, are at
https://epubs.siam.org/doi/book/10.1137/1.9781611975215. Short
abstracts could be up to 2 pages in length and should describe
preliminary results for presentation as talks at the workshop, but
these abstracts will not be included in the proceedings. Submissions
should use the LaTeX macros at
http://www.siam.org/proceedings/macros.php (authors using other
software should adhere to the same double- column 11pt format).

The record of the earlier CSC Workshops is available at www.csc-
research.org.

Submission will be handled through EasyChair. Submission link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csc20

First submission deadline: August 1, 2019
Notification of Early Decision: October 1, 2019
Second submission deadline: November 15, 2019 (both new and
revised manuscript)
Notification of Final Decision: November 30, 2019
Applications to submit posters: February 10, 2020

From: Professor Ted Johnson [email protected]
Date: April 16, 2019
Subject: Postdoc Position, Nonlinear Waves and Ocean Modelling, UCL


Applications are invited for a full-time Research Fellow position to
work on the project "Stirring at the Walls - A dynamical boundary
model for the ocean". This work forms part of a joint NERC-NSF funded
project between Professor Ted Johnson at University College London and
Professor William Dewar of Florida State University on boundary models
for the ocean. The project will investigate the hypothesis that there
is a gap between the very high spatial and temporal resolution
required in global ocean models to accurately resolve the flow near
ocean boundaries and the lower resolution in both space and time
required to resolve the motion of the ocean interior. The aim is to
produce a dynamical boundary model that can exploit this gap to allow
more accurate simulations at lower computational cost while
simultaneously increasing our knowledge of boundary mixing processes.
Resposibilities: Carrying out vigorous, high-level research into
coupling nonlinear wave models for ocean boundary dynamics to global
circulation models. This should include investigating the extension of
the theory in the paper "A coupled model of interior balanced and
boundary flow" by Deremble, Dewar and Johnson [Ocean Modelling, vol
119, pp 1-12 (2017)] into more general scenarios. Desirable: Interest
and research experience in at least some of the following areas: the
theory of nonlinear wave dynamics, the numerical treatment of
hyperbolic equations, asymptotic analysis of geophysical equations,
global ocean circulation models. This post is based at UCL and
available from 1 July 2019. Salary will be UCL Grade 7, point 29-32,
which is 35,328 - 38,303 per annum inclusive of London Allowance. This
post is funded for 3 years in the first instance.
