Subject: Strang and Moler Video Course on Differential Equations

Gil Strang's videos for 18.06, the MIT course on Linear Algebra helped
launch the MOOC revolution in higher education.  Now he has made a
MOOC-style video course about differential equations based on his new
book, "Differential Equations and Linear Algebra",
http://math.mit.edu/~gs/dela.  There are 55 videos, averaging 15
minutes each.  Here are the chapters.

- Introduction
- First Order Equations
- Second Order Equations
- Graphical and Numerical Methods
- Vector Spaces and Subspaces
- Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors
- Applied Mathematics and ATA
- Fourier and Laplace Transforms

I have added a dozen videos, also averaging 15 minutes, about "Solving
ODEs in MATLAB".

Here is the link to the home page for the project at the MathWorks.

Subject: Chebfun v5.4.0 Released

The Chebfun team is pleased to announce the release of Chebfun v5.4.0.
This version comes with two major new features:

- Spherefun for computing with functions on the unit sphere. (Written
  by Alex Townsend, Heather Wilber, and Grady Wright.)

- New SPIN/SPIN2 codes for solving stiff time-dependent PDEs in 1D and
  2D using exponential integrators.  (Written by Hadrien Montanelli.)

For further information, see the release notes at
http://www.chebfun.org.  In the coming weeks, we expect to release
Chebfun3 for computing with functions in 3D.

Announcing a course

Solving PDEs with the FEniCS Project software

20-24 June 2016, University of Chicago

Lecturers: L. Ridgway Scott (Chicago), Patrick E. Farrell (Oxford)

In this course, students will learn the basic concepts of modeling
physical phenomena using partial differential equations, and how to
easily implement fast finite element solvers for these equations with
the software provided by the FEniCS Project.

The course is aimed at those wanting to improve their skills in
modeling using PDEs, and it is ideal for industrial engineers and
advanced undergraduate and graduate students.

There are reduced registration fees for academics and students
attending this course.

Subject: Moving Mesh Methods, UK, Jun 2016

We are holding a workshop at the University of Bath, from 13-16 June,
on moving mesh methods for PDEs and related problems.  Confirmed
plenary speakers include Jörn Behrens (Hamburg), Brittany Froese
(NJIT), Ron Haynes (Memorial) and Weizhang Huang (Kansas).

If you are interested in attending, please contact us directly.  There
is no registration fee, but we ask that you arrange and fund your own
travel and accommodation.  We hope to partially or fully reimburse
students and early-career researchers, but cannot provide any
guarantees at this stage.

Subject: Distance Geometry: Theory and Applications, USA, Jul 2016

DIMACS Workshop on Distance Geometry: Theory and Applications
26-29 July 2016 at DIMACS, Rutgers University, NJ, USA
http://dimacs.rutgers.edu/Workshops/Distance/

Distance Geometry (DG) is a field of geometry which focuses on
defining and working with geometrical objects using distances between
points rather than the points themselves. From classical results such
as Heron's theorem, Euler's conjecture on the rigidity of polyhedra,
Maxwell's forces diagrams, and the link to positive semidefinite
matrices, DG has seen a veritable "engineering renaissance" in the XX
century. DG is used in architecture (rigidity of structures), spatial
conformation of molecules from inter-atomic distances, localization of
mobile sensors in communication networks, control of unmanned
underwater vehicles, control of robotic arms, solution of problems in
spatial logic, and more.

Invited speakers: Amir Ali Ahmadi (Princeton Univ.); Abdo Alfakih
(Univ. Windsor, Canada); Simon Billinge (Columbia Univ.); Bob Connelly
(Cornell Univ.); Marcia Fampa (Federal Univ. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil);
Hamza Fawzi (MIT); Douglas Goncalves (Federal Univ. Santa Catalina,
Brazil); Steven Gortler (Harvard Univ.); Georgina Hall (Princeton
Univ.); Bill Jackson (Queen Mary, Univ. of London, UK); Tibor Jordan
(Eotvos Lorand Univ., Budapest, Hungary); Bahman Kalantari (Rutgers
Univ.); Yuehaw Khoo (Princeton Univ.); Nathan Krislock (Northern
Illnois Univ.); Carlile Lavor (Univ. of Campinas, Brazil); Jon Lee
(Univ. of Michigan); Theres Malliavin (CNRS &Institut Pasteur, Paris,
France); Onur Ozyesil (Princeton Univ.); Pablo Parrilo (MIT); Frank
Permenter (MIT); Amit Singer (Princeton Univ.); Meera Sitharam
(Univ. of Florida at Gainesville); Anthony Man-Cho So (Chinese
Univ. of Hong Kong); Ileana Streinu (Smith College); Jayme Swarczfiter
(Federal Univ. of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil); Shin-Ichi Tanigawa (Kyoto
Univ., Japan); Antonios Varvitsiotis (NTU, Singapore); Martin Vetterli
(EPFL, Switzerland); Henry Wolkowicz (Univ. Waterloo, Canada)

We are currently calling for posters. Please write to Leo Liberti if
you're interested in presenting a poster. A special issue of Discrete
Applied Mathematics, dedicated to the topic of this workshop, will be
guest edited by the co-chairs.

Date: May 04, 2016
Subject: PhD Positions, Norwegian Univ of Science and Technology

As part of the research project Waves and Nonlinear Phenomena (WaNP)
we announce two positions as PhD candidates available from August 1,
2016. The project is funded by the "Toppforsk" program of the Research
Council of Norway.

The main goal of WaNP (https://wiki.math.ntnu.no/wanp) is basic
research in nonlinear and nonlocal partial differential
equations. More specifically, the aim is to analyze the interplay of
singularities and nonlocal effects in a class of carefully selected
wave equations. As singularities appear, our tools to understand their
behavior break down; and as nonlocal effects come into play, the study
of essentially local singularities requires a global understanding of
the problem. As part of our program we shall furthermore study both
deterministic equations and equations with uncertainties. The research
team involved in the current project comprises 6 faculty members and
approximately 10 PhD candidates and postdoctoral fellows.

Qualifications: The applicants should have a MSc-degree in mathematics
with special focus in mathematical analysis or partial differential
equations, or comparable competence. Candidates completing their
MSc-degree in the spring 2016 are encouraged to apply.

Applications are to be submitted electronically through
www.jobbnorge.no.  For further information, see
https://www.jobbnorge.no/ledige-
stillinger/stilling/125388/2-phd-positions-in-mathematics, or contact
Professor Helge Holden by email .

Deadline: May 31, 2016.
