an eclectic and wide-ranging collection of projects.  Each project
presents a problem and an algorithm for solving it, and the reader is
guided through implementing the algorithm in C and compiling and
testing the results.  It is not necessary to carry out the projects in
sequential order. The projects contain suggested algorithms and
partially completed programs for implementing them to enable the
reader to exercise and develop skills in scientific computing; require
only a working knowledge of undergraduate multivariable calculus,
differential equations, and linear algebra; and are written in
platform-independent standard C. The Unix command-line is used to
illustrate compilation and execution.

Subject: Mathematics of Data Analysis in Cybersecurity, USA, Oct 2014

The goal of this workshop is to bring mathematicians and cybersecurity
practitioners together to outline the key challenges in the
mathematics of cybersecurity data analysis.  The expected outcome of
the workshop will be a roadmap for investment in specific mathematical
topics that will directly impact the advancement of the science of
cybersecurity.

Mathematicians have long been involved in information security through
cryptography, and thus algebra and number theory. But modern cyber
security is a much larger field, and the perspectives and
methodologies of other parts of the mathematical sciences have been
only rarely been brought to bear. Given the complexity and dynamics of
cyberspace it is essential to have a formal scientific basis for the
field of cybersecurity.  Indeed, a variety of sources have called for
the creation of a "science of cybersecurity", and mathematical methods
should play a critical role in such a science.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together mathematical
scientists and cybersecurity practitioners with expertise in several
main areas, including especially high dimensional data analysis and
cryptography, to establish a road map for bringing more mathematicians
into the field of cybersecurity. Sharing our visions of near and far
term goals of the field will be the highlight of the conference.

unusual rheological properties of viscoelastic fluids is their
microstructural dynamics. To establish a more fundamental
understanding of viscoelastic fluids, her research group investigates
the relationship between their rheology and their microstructure. The
research approach combines thermodynamic modeling and numerical
simulation with laboratory experiments. More information about
Professor Germann’s fluid dynamics group can be found at

We believe that excellence in mathematical analysis requires a very
broad basis and our aim is to train students to be able and willing to
deploy a very wide range of techniques. This unique course has an
emphasis on team working and communication, alongside personal effort
and excellence, to foster a spirit of breadth and collaboration.

Positions may be funded by either EPSRC studentships, University of
Cambridge scholarships or other means.

The closing date for applications is 15 January 2015. Applicants from
outside the UK/EU who seek scholarships should apply well before:
refer to http://www.graduate.study.cam.ac.uk/finance/funding for
information.
