January 10 - 16, 2016. Lecturers: Ricardo H. Nochetto (UMD) and Andrea Bonito (TAMU); January 11 - 16 Deal.II tutorial: Timo Heister (Clemson); January 10 Short Description: A comprehensive approach to the formulation and discretization of geometric partial differential equation governing processes will be provided. The topics discussed will center around differential geometry, calculus of variations, gradient flows and discretization using finite element methods. Emphasis will be made to applications and in particular in biophysics and material science. Afternoon laboratory sessions will serve as numerical illustration to the topics discussed in the lectures and will provide insights on the behavior of the algorithms. During these sessions students will have the choice of using either MATLAB or deal.ii/C++. Thanks to the support of the US National Science Foundation and the Institute for Applied Mathematics and Computational Science, funding is available to support the travel and local expenses for several participants. We would appreciate if you could forward this announcement to possibly interested graduate students.

The courses, focusing on different aspects of applied analysis, will take place Monday-Friday during the entire week. It is meant for training of graduate students, Ph.D. students and young post-doc researchers. The registration is free, but we may limit the number of participants if necessary. There will be five general lectures given by the following speakers. - Oliver Ernst (Technsiche Universitat Chemnitz) Mathematical methods of uncertainty quantification - Stefan Kunis (Universitat Osnabruck) Low ranks in computational Fourier analysis - Volker Mehrmann (Technsiche Universitat Berlin) Analysis and numerical solution of eigenvalue problems - Frank-Olme Speck (Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal) Operator factorization and boundary value problems - Jan Vybiral (Charles University, Praha, Czech Republic) Low-rank matrix recovery Further information and online registration is available on the website: http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~potts/cms/ ------ Subject: Lecturers in Mathematics and Mathematical Biology, St Andrews From: Mike Todd Date: Tue, 12 May 2015 15:42:16 +0100 The University of St Andrews has recently filled two prestigious named chairs in mathematical sciences: Prof Igor Rivin has been appointed to the Regius Chair in Mathematics (dating back to 17th Century) and Prof Mark Chaplain has been appointed to the Gregory Chair in Applied Mathematics (named after James Gregory, the first holder of the Regius Chair). These appointments mark a strategic direction by the University to strengthen and develop our research and teaching portfolio across the mathematical sciences. The University now plans to make supporting appointments at the Lecturer level (i.e. UK assistant professor) and seeks exceptional candidates working in any area of mathematics. We are particularly interested in one of two different profiles: 1. Outstanding candidates who can demonstrate outstanding research potential and broad mathematical outlook. They will typically have a strong track record and show outstanding promise in one or several core areas of mathematics. Interest in interdisciplinary and experimental approaches to mathematics and information sciences emanating from these core areas would be a distinctive bonus. 2. Candidates with outstanding research record in Mathematical Biology, or who display a clear potential to work at the highest level within the field. They must also demonstrate enthusiasm for inter-disciplinary research, with an expected commitment to interact with colleagues in the Schools of Biology and Medicine and the James Hutton Institute (http://www.hutton.ac.uk), and to develop interdisciplinary collaborative research projects in the areas of mathematical/computational biology, medicine and theoretical ecology. Candidates are expected to have a Ph.D. in Mathematics or a closely related discipline. The University and the School are proud of our leading undergraduate programmes, and the successful candidates will be expected to help us strengthen and develop them further. Both Professors Rivin and Chaplain will be developing M.Sc. programmes (in Discrete Mathematics and Data Science, and in Mathematical Biology respectively), and the new lecturers will be involved in the development and running of these programmes. Informal approaches concerning these appointments may be made to: Prof Nik Ruskuc, Head of School, mathshead@mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk Some more details are available at http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/ATV305/lecturers-in-mathematics-and-mathematical-biology-kc1856/ Closing date 12 June 2015 ------ Subject: Contents, Journal of Modern Dynamics 8:3-4 From: Liwei Ning Date: Thu, 14 May 2015 11:37:44 -0500 Journal of Modern Dynamics (JMD) Volume: 8, Number: 3/4 September/December 2014 http://aimsciences.org/journals/contentsListJMDnew.jsp?pubID=768 1.
