Subject: New Book, Essential Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science


Princeton University Press is pleased to announce the publication of
Essential Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science by Harry Lewis and
Rachel Zax. Please see below for a 30% off discount code for personal
purchases.

"Carefully constructed and elegantly written, this book delivers
exactly what its title promises--an introductory treatment of all the
essentials of discrete mathematics that a computer scientist needs to
know." --David P. Williamson, Cornell University

Proven in the classroom, Essential Discrete Mathematics for Computer
Science aims to teach mathematical reasoning as well as concepts and
skills by stressing the art of proof. It is fully illustrated in
color, and each chapter includes a concise summary as well as a set of
exercises. The text requires only precalculus, and where calculus is
needed, a quick summary of the basic facts is provided.

Essential Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science is the ideal
introductory textbook for standard undergraduate courses, and is also
suitable for high school courses, distance education for adult
learners, and self-study.

7th Applied Mathematics Symposium Munster
Advanced Solvers for modern Architectures 2019
November 11-13, 2019
Munster, Germany
https://www.uni-muenster.de/AMM/num/solvers2019/

For exascale applications an increasing communication overhead and as
well as local concurrency pose the major challenges to obtain a
significant portion of the overall peak performance. In the last years
these problems have gained a lot of attention and different techniques
were developed to improve the scalability of linear and non-linear
solvers. This workshop wants to gather experts to discuss topics like

communication avoiding Krylov methods
asynchronicity in solvers
non-linear preconditioning
strong preconditioners (GMG and DD)
blocked and enriched Krylov methods.

All these approaches aim at increasing local costs and reducing or
hiding global communication costs, which will contribute to better
scalability.

Subject: Postdoc Position, Parallel Sparse Linear Solvers, IRIT Toulouse


We are seeking candidates for a 18-months post-doctoral position at
the IRIT laboratory of Toulouse (France). The subject is related to
the improvement of methods for the solution of sparse linear systems
on large scale parallel supercomputers. Specifically, this post-doc
will investigate methods for reducing the complexity and improving the
scalability of multigrid solvers through the use of low-rank
approximation techniques in the coarse grid solver or in the
intermediate levels smoothers.

The successful candidate will work in the context of the European
EoCoE-II project (https://www.eocoe.eu/) whose objective is to
leverage the potential offered by the ever-growing computing
infrastructure to foster and accelerate the European transition to a
reliable low carbon energy supply using High Performance Computing.

Requirements: PhD in Computer Science or Mathematics, strong expertise
in sparse linear algebra and high performance parallel computing.

Subject: Postdoc Position, Viscoelastic Flows, Univ of São Paulo


The Center for Research in Mathematical Sciences Applied to Industry
(CEPID-CeMEAI) at University of Sao Paulo opens a post-doctoral
research position in Computational Fluid Mechanics. The selected
candidate will work at Institute of Mathematical and Computer Sciences
of University of Sao Paulo in Sao Carlos/SP, Brazil. Sao Paulo
Research Foundation provides the financial support with a monthly
salary of R$ 7.373,10. Financial support can also be provided to cover
transportation expenses as to the move to Sao Carlos - Brazil. An
extra grant is also provided to cover participation in highly relevant
conferences and workshops, as well as research trips (limited to 15%
of the annual amount of the fellowship). The position is for one year.

Project: Viscoelastic Flows: Fractional Integral constitutive models
Supervisor: Antonio Castelo Filho

Description: The post-doc will interact with the CFD groups at CEPID-
CeMEAI. The post-doc is expected to perform research in viscoelastic
flows models governed by fractional integral constitutive
equations. This includes the development of computational methodology
and implementation in CFD HIGTREE-HIGFLOW software. This software uses
finite differences in staggered grid and its generic in dimensional
and type of flow. Viscoelastic fluid flows are of great importance in
the industrial area, for example in injection/extrusion machines or in
oil extraction. Numerically simulating these processes, specifically
due to the rheology of some time-dependent fluids, has been a
challenge. Currently, integral type models are the most suitable;
mainly fractional integral models. Although growing, the area of
research in fractional models is little explored and very promising.

Requirements: Applicants should have PhD in Applied Mathematics,
Computer Science or related fields, with experience in numerical
simulation of viscoelastic fluids flows modeled by integral,
preferably fractional, constitutive equations. Candidates must have
got their PhD in the last 5 years.

Application: Please send your application before October 31, 2019 to:
[email protected]. Please indicate "CEPID post-doctoral application
- CFD" in the subject line. Applications should include curriculum
vitae, statement of research interests and two contact information for
recommendation letters(only PDF files).
