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".

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. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Ridgway Scott [log in to unmask] Date: May 06, 2016 Subject: Finite element modeling using FEniCS, USA, Jun 2016 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.

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.

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.

The position includes teaching duties in the mathematics education of engineering and mathematics students. Applicants must be able to teach in German. Please see https://intranet.tuhh.de/aktuell/stellen/stelle.html?kenn_nr=D-16-74&intern=1 for additional information. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Ulrik Skre Fjordholm [log in to unmask] 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 .
