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.

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.
