M. Bliss, K. F. Kavanagh, and B. J. Galluzzo, and R. Levy SIAM, Philadelphia, 2018 Free online; $15 in print Written for students who have some experience with computation and an interest in math modeling, this handbook is designed to take you from basic graphic calculator or spreadsheet experience to the next level, which includes programming basics, working with large data sets, and visualization techniques. The handbook is also written for teachers who will assist students as they incorporate software into the math modeling process. This is a companion volume to Math Modeling: Getting Started and Getting Solutions (SIAM, 2014), and takes you beyond the basic process of mathematical modeling to technical computing using software platforms and coding. Topics include computation, statistics, visualization, programming, and simulation. Both handbooks are freely available for viewing or download at the M3 Challenge site: https://m3challenge.siam.org/resources/modeling- handbook ; you will also find a link there for purchase of print copies if that is desired.

Subsurface environments host natural resources which are critical to the needs of our society and to its development. The diversity of problems encountered in subsurface modeling calls for multi-disciplinary research efforts, with contributions from a wide range of fields including, e.g., mathematics, hydrology, geology, physics and biogeochemistry. We welcome contributions from researchers with different backgrounds active in the area, presenting both advances in dedicated uncertainty quantification techniques and real-world test cases. Contributions can be submitted as poster or oral presentation. A limited amount of funding is provided by GAMM for researchers who do not yet hold permanent positions.

This fellowship provides an opportunity to engage in research in close collaboration with Dr. Protas and his group (more information available at http://www.math.mcmaster.ca/bprotas ) with a limited amount of teaching. The focus of this industry-cofunded position will be research on mathematical and computational modelling of nonequilibrium electrochemical and thermodynamic processes occurring in Li-ion batteries. This position is intended for an applied mathematician interested in exploring a rapidly developing application area, or for a mathematically-minded chemist with a solid background in theoretical and computational chemistry. In either case, knowledge of multiscale modelling (especially homogenization), electrochemistry, PDEs and scientific computing will be an asset. This research project also involves close collaboration with chemists and material scientists as well as research scientists with our Industrial Partner. The duration of the position will be initially one year with extension for the second year contingent on satisfactory performance and availability of funding. The fellowship is open to candidates of any nationality and selection will be based on the candidate's research potential and fit with Dr. Protas' research group. The fellowship starts on September 1, 2018 or earlier, and provides an annual stipend salary of $42,000 CAD. Candidates are required to apply for this fellowship by using the MathJobs website (see our advertisement with ID McMaster-PDFMMSC [#11767] at http://www.mathjobs.org). We will begin reviewing applications on March 22, 2018. Applications received after this date will be accepted until the position is filled, but to ensure full consideration applicants are advised to submit all supporting materials by the above deadline. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Elena Celledoni [log in to unmask] Date: February 28, 2018 Subject: PhD/Postdoc Position, Numerical Analysis, NTNU, Norway A new PhD fellowship/Postdoctoral fellowship in computational science is available at the Department of Mathematical Sciences at NTNU. The successful candidate will be offered a three-year position as a PhD fellow or a two-year position as a postdoctoral fellow. The research project is about data driven modelling of flexible structures. There are numerous potential applications for this research, examples are animation of character motion, activity recognition and modelling of slender structures. We will use techniques based on differential geometry and in particular shape analysis on Lie groups and homogeneous manifolds. We seek candidates with a good mathematical background at master/PhD level or equivalent.
