Subject: Axel Ruhe

Axel Ruhe passed away April 4 while skiing in the Swedish mountains.
Axel has made many profound contributions to numerical linear algebra
and scientific computing over the years. Since 2003 he was
Editor-in-Chief of the journal "BIT - Numerical Mathematics".  Axel
was lively and always full of energy.  It is very sad and a great loss
that Axel is not with us anymore. He will be long remembered.

Bo Kågström and Lars Eldén

Lars Eldén has taken over as editor-in-chief for BIT

Subject: News for the Book, Differential Equations and Linear Algebra

This book combines the two key courses in undergraduate mathematics.
The Solution Manual has just been added to the book's website
http://math.mit.edu/dela plus a sample section from each chapter.
This textbook was reviewed by Robert O'Malley in the December 2014
SIAM Review.  A series of 52 video lectures is coming on
OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.edu and on MathWorks.com and on YouTube
-- to give readers (including all students) an active presentation of
each key idea in understanding and solving ODEs.

2PM and offers a platform for both practitioners and scientists to
discuss innovations, determine similarities and differences of applied
modeling approaches, as well as maintain mutual exchange of
experiences. 



This Modeling Day aims at contributing to communication between
industry and university within the complex issue “Space & Time”. 



The Modeling Day will solely be held in German.

 Participation is
free of charge.

This event is organized by the Heidelberg Graduate School of
Mathematical and Computational Methods for the Sciences (HGS
MathComp), in cooperation with BASF SE, InnovationLab GmbH, and IHK

tentative programme, and a partial list of confirmed participants.
There is still space on the programme for further talks that should
ordinarily be for a 30 minute time slot.

A public lecture by Jack Dongarra and Satoshi Matsuoka in Toulouse on
2nd July is also open for registration via the same web address.
Registration for this event is free but mandatory.

Subject: SAMSI Ideas Lab on Biomed, USA, Jul 2015

The Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute (SAMSI) is
organizing an Ideas Lab on Interdisciplinary Approaches to Biomedical
Data Science Challenges, July 20-24, 2015, jointly sponsored by NSF
and NIH. It will be an intensive five-day residential workshop aimed
at the development of multidisciplinary collaborative research
proposals motivated by large-data problems in precision medicine, and
will lead to the opportunity to submit proposals for small, 1-year
funding awards to further build the collaborations. Applications to
attend the workshop are due by May 25, 2015. Further details may be
found at www.samsi.info/ideas-lab .

Subject: BIT Circus 2015, Sweden, Aug 2015

Inspired by the former BIT Chief Editor Axel Ruhe*, we announce the
BIT Circus 2015, focusing on Numerical Mathematics and Computational
Sciences, to be held August 26-27, 2015 at Umea University, Sweden.

The circus motto is "everybody is welcome, nobody is invited", and the
main idea is that PhD students, Post-docs, and young researchers are
presenting their on-going work and exchanging ideas in their research.

Sadly, Axel Ruhe passed away suddenly on April 4, 2015. Axel
encouraged the planning of the next BIT Circus to be held during this
summer. True to his spirit and in memory of Axel, the BIT Board
supported that the next event will take place at Umea University where
Axel started his academic career as Professor.

For more information, see BIT Circus 2015 web page, with the
registration form (dead-line June 12):
https://www.hpc2n.umu.se/events/workshops/BITcircus2015

We wish you most welcome,
