Born on May 23, 1949, in Hyogo, Japan, graduated from the Department of Physics, Tohoku University in 1973, got a doctoral degree on the topic of algorithms for symbolic formula manipulation from the University of Tokyo in 1978. After working for three years at Nagoya University, Prof. Kanada moved to the University of Tokyo in 1981. He worked at the University of Tokyo until 2015. His world-known achievement is his numerous world records over the past three decades for calculating digits of pi. One of his papers for calculating digits of pi can be seen in Yasumasa Kanada, "Vectorization of multiple-precision arithmetic program and 201,326,000 decimal digits of pi calculation", Proc. Supercomputing 88: Vol II, Science and Applications, pp. 117-128 (1988). DOI: 10.1109/SUPERC.1988.74139 In 2002, Prof. Kanada held the world record calculating pi to 1.2411 trillion decimal digits using a HITACHI SR8000/MPP supercomputer. For a long time Prof, Kanada was engaged with the Information Technology Center of the University of Tokyo, where he advised many students and researchers. He contributed much to developments of computer sciences in Japan, and at the same time, greatly served the international community of computer scientists. Prof. Kanada is survived by his wife Harumi. We missed a respected computer scientist. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Alexander Brune [log in to unmask] Date: February 26, 2020 Subject: British Early Career Mathematicians’ Colloquium, UK, Apr 2020 Call for abstract submissions to the British Early Career Mathematicians' Colloquium (BECMC) 2020, which will be held at the University of Birmingham on 1st-2nd April 2020.

A typical inverse problem seeks to find a mathematical model that admits given observational data as an approximate solution. This sort of question is of great interest in many application areas, including biomedical engineering and imaging, remote sensing and seismic imaging, astronomy, oceanography, atmospheric sciences and meteorology, chemical engineering and material sciences, computer vision and image processing, ecology, economics, environmental systems, physical systems. Very often an inverse problem appears in the form of a parameter estimation problem, it can be formulated as an optimization model, and then solved using different optimization algorithms and techniques. All papers included in this special issue will consider aspects of numerical analysis, mathematical modeling, and computational methods. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following: Inverse Problems Algorithms Inverse Problems for Ordinary and Differential Equations Inverse Problems using Nonsmooth Optimization Inverse Problems using Multicriteria Optimization Fractal-based Inverse Problems Shape Optimization Inverse Optimization Inverse Problems in Image Analysis Regularization Techniques https://www.opte-journal.com/index.php?page=sis ------------------------------------------------------- From: Fikret Aliev [log in to unmask] Date: February 18, 2020 Subject: Contents, Applied and Computational Mathematics, 19 (1) Applied and Computational Mathematics an International Journal Vol.19, No.1, February 2020 www.acmij.az CONTENTS The numerical solution of nonlinear weakly singular Fredholm integral equations based on the dual-Chebyshev wavelets, Pouria Assari, Mehdi Dehghan Perturbation bounds for the matrix equation X + A*X-1A = Q, Vejdi I.
