Lanczos, like Feynman, was so brilliant that even very complicated mathematics and physics seemed simple to him. His goal was to help the reader see how simple it all was, too.” -From the foreword by John Boyd Originally published in 1966, this well-written and still-cited text covers Fourier analysis, a foundation of science and engineering. Many modern textbooks are filled with specialized terms and equations that may be confusing, but this book uses a friendly, conversational tone to clarify the material and engage the reader. The author meticulously develops the topic and uses 161 problems integrated into the text to walk the student down the simplest path to a solution.

The successful candidates will join Numerical Linear Algebra for Future and Emerging Technologies (NLAFET) collaboration (http://www.nlafet.eu), a project funded by the European Commission and involving the University of Manchester, INRIA, Umea University, and STFC/RAL. They will conduct research on dense and sparse linear algebra solvers aiming at a significant reduction of communication and thus suitable for future and emerging large-scale computers. The algorithms developed will be validated on several applications targeted by NLAFET, such as computational fluid dynamics, astrophysics, etc. A close collaboration and visits with the other partners of the project will be involved. Future extreme-scale supercomputers will be heterogeneous and lead to new and challenging demands for efficient numerical algorithms and parallel software libraries. The aim of NLAFET is to tackle these challenges and ultimately deliver new scalable numerical libraries for fundamental problems in numerical linear algebra, including the solution of dense and sparse systems of equations and eigenvalue problems. Achieving this requires a co-design effort including developing novel algorithms, exploration of advanced scheduling strategies and runtime systems, offline and online autotuning, as well as avoiding communication and synchronization bottlenecks. The position will focus on design, implementation, and evaluation of parallel algorithms for numerical linear algebra with regards to the extreme-scale challenges. The research will be done in close collaboration with recognized researchers and PhD students in the research group as well as with other partners in NLAFET. This post offers a full-time 24-month research appointment. Informal enquiries may be made to: Professor Jack Dongarra.
