Subject: Deadline Imminent, Submissions for IMA Fox Prize 2023

The prestigious IMA Leslie Fox Prize is to be held in collaboration
with The Alan Turing Institute for the first time. The outstanding,
biennal prize was established in 1985 in honour of distinguished
mathematician and researcher Leslie Fox. The next prize (the
twenty-first) will be awarded on the 26th of June 2023, aligning with
the 29th Biennial Numerical Analysis Conference in Strathclyde.

Entries for the twenty-first IMA Leslie Fox Prize for Numerical
Analysis should be submitted by 31st of January 2023 using the form on
the website (link below). Any person who is less than 31 years old on
1st of January 2023 and has not already won a first prize is eligible
- candidates need not come from academia.

Each entry should be based on a paper, describing some of the
candidate's research, that is suitable for a 40 minute lecture at a
numerical analysis meeting.

For detailed eligibility criteria and submission guidelines please

Subject: New Book, Introduction to Linear Algebra, Sixth Edition

Introduction to Linear Algebra, Sixth Edition by Gilbert Strang

The new 6th edition of Gilbert Strang's textbook Introduction to
Linear Algebra combines serious purpose and a gentle touch, qualities
also found in Strang's video lectures. The lectures for Math 18.06 at
MIT are on OpenCourseWare ocw.mit.edu/courses. Two of the chapters -
the first and the last - deserve special mention.

Chapter 1 emphasizes that matrix-vector multiplication Ax produces a
linear combination of the columns of A. Those combinations fill the
column space of A. And the idea of linear independence is introduced
by examples. The result is to see (for small matrices) the ideas of
column rank and row rank and a valuable factorization A = CR.

Later chapters (the heart of the book) develop five great
factorizations of a matrix. And they are connected to the four
fundamental subspaces that students can work with.

Chapter 10 - not reached in a first course but so valuable in modern
applications - describes the key ideas of Deep Learning. The learning
function (built from training data) is piecewise linear with matrix
weights.  For unseen data, those same weights give an accurate
understanding - and every student knows the importance of these ideas.

Details can be found in the new book's Preface and Table of Contents
at math.mit.edu/linearalgebra.

Subject: New Book, Maximum-Entropy Sampling: Algorithms and Application

Maximum-Entropy Sampling: Algorithms and Application
Authors: Marcia Fampa, Jon Lee

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Operations Research and
Financial Engineering (ORFE)

This monograph presents a comprehensive treatment of the maximum-
entropy sampling problem (MESP), which is a fascinating topic at the
intersection of mathematical optimization and data science.  The text
situates MESP in information theory, as the algorithmic problem of
calculating a sub-vector of pre-specified size from a multivariate
Gaussian random vector, so as to maximize Shannon's differential
entropy. The text collects and expands on state- of-the-art algorithms
for MESP, and addresses its application in the field of environmental
monitoring. While MESP is a central optimization problem in the theory
of statistical designs (particularly in the area of spatial
monitoring), this book largely focuses on the unique challenges of its
algorithmic side. From the perspective of mathematical-optimization
methodology, MESP is rather unique (a 0/1 nonlinear program having a
nonseparable objective function), and the algorithmic techniques
employed are highly non-standard. In particular, successful techniques
come from several disparate areas within the field of mathematical
optimization; for example: convex optimization and duality,
semidefinite programming, Lagrangian relaxation, dynamic programming,
approximation algorithms, 0/1 optimization (e.g., branch-and-bound),
extended formulation, and many aspects of matrix theory. The book is
mainly aimed at graduate students and researchers in mathematical
optimization and data analytics.

Subject: New Book, Statistical Analysis of Networks

Statistical Analysis of Networks by K. Avrachenkov and M. Dreveton

This book is a general introduction to the statistical analysis of
networks, and can serve both as a research monograph and as a
textbook.  Numerous fundamental tools and concepts needed for the
analysis of networks are presented, such as network modeling,
community detection, numerical algorithms for graph clustering,
graph-based semi-supervised learning and sampling in networks. The
description of these concepts is self-contained, with both theoretical
justifications and applications provided for the presented algorithms.

Researchers, including postgraduate students, working in the area of
network science, data science, complex network analysis, or social
network analysis, will find up-to-date statistical methods relevant to
their research tasks. This book can also serve as textbook material
for courses related to the statistical approach to the analysis of
complex networks.

Table of contents: 1. Introduction; 2. Random graph models; 3. Network
centrality indices; 4. Community detection in networks; 5. Graph-based
semi-supervised learning; 6. Community detection in temporal networks;
7. Sampling in networks
