Subject: Call for Nominations, Fourth Stephen Smale Prize

The fourth Stephen Smale Prize will be awarded at the Foundations of
Computational Mathematics (FoCM) meeting in Vancouver, Canada June
15-24, 2020. The goal of the Smale Prize is to recognize major
achievements in furthering the understanding of the connections
between mathematics and computation, including the interfaces between
pure and applied mathematics, numerical analysis, and computer
science. To be eligible for the prize a candidate must be in his or
her early to mid-career, meaning, typically, removed by at most ten
years from his or her (first) doctoral degree by the first day of the
FoCM meeting (June 15, 2020).  Eligible candidates should be nominated
by email to the secretary of FoCM, Michael Singer, [log in to unmask], no
later than September 15, 2019. Each nomination (self-nominations
excluded) should be accompanied by a brief supporting letter, the
nominee's CV and include at least three letters of recommendation. The
recipient of the prize will be expected to give a lecture at the
meeting. A written version of this lecture (tagged as the Smale Prize
Lecture) will be included in the volume of plenary talks. For more
information, see http://focm- society.org/smale_prize.php

Subject: New Book, Bits and Bugs: Software Failures in Computational Science

Bits and Bugs: A Scientific and Historical Review of Software Failures
in Computational Science
Thomas Huckle and Tobias Neckel
Software, Environments, and Tools 29

In scientific computing (also known as computational science),
advanced computing capabilities are used to solve complex
problems. This self- contained book describes and analyzes reported
software failures related to the major topics within scientific
computing: mathematical modeling of phenomena; numerical analysis;
mathematical aspects and complexity of algorithms, systems, or
software; concurrent computing; and numerical data. Readers will find
lists of related, interesting bugs, MATLAB examples, and 'excursions'
that provide necessary background, as well as an in-depth analysis of
various aspects of the selected bugs. Illustrative examples of
numerical principles such as machine numbers, rounding errors,
condition numbers, and complexity are also included.

discussed. We plan to avoid parallel sessions and foster as much as
possible communication across the different communities.

Conference topics include: Integrable systems and soliton theory;
Nonlinear waves and nonlinear evolution equations; Dispersive
hydrodynamics; Rogue waves and extreme wave phenomena; Instability in
nonlinear media; Orthogonal polynomials; Mathematical biology;
Coherent structures in shear flows and transition to turbulence

Papers will be accepted for the conference based on a 200 word
abstract on any of the above topics for oral or poster presentation.
Abstracts should be submitted by Friday 22 March 2019 via
https://my.ima.org.uk/ . Please state whether your title is intended
for oral "presentation" or "poster" presentation.
