Subject: One World Seminar Series on Imaging & Inverse Problems

The current COVID-19 global situation is making traveling impossible and

causing the cancellation of conferences and seminars all around the world.

Inspired by the idea of the Probability, PDE, MINDS, and MADS One

World seminars, our One World IMAGing and INvErse problems

(IMAGINE) seminar series aims to provide a forum for the exchange of

ideas and networking for scientists worldwide working in the field of

mathematical imaging and applied inverse problems.

algorithms, and architectures will bring the greatest honor of

association to these pioneers?



Download the nomination flyer at the URLs below.  A nominator and at

least 3 endorsement letters are required for each.  Selection

committees of peers await your nominations!  Awardees will be honored

and present lectures at SC'20, sponsored by IEEE CS and ACM SIGHPC, in

Atlanta in November.

Subject: Online seminar series on Numerical Linear Algebra

An online seminar series on Numerical Linear Algebra will be organized

every Wednesday at 4pm CET starting from April 29, 2020.



More information can be found at https://sites.google.com/view/e-nla/



The first lecture will be delivered by Nick Higham (University of

Manchester) on "Are Numerical Linear Algebra Algorithms Accurate at

Extreme Scale and at Low Precisions?"

Subject: Graduate Numerical Linear Algebra MOOC/Online Course

Over the past year, we have developed a new online course for The

University of Texas at Austin Online Masters program titled "Linear

Algebra for Computing," building on our expertise with prior Massive

Open Online Courses (MOOCs).  This course is also offered as a MOOC,

titled "Advanced Linear Algebra: Foundations to Frontiers," that is

free to auditors (but for which UT-Austin credit is not granted), on

the edX platform.  In response to the COVID-19 crisis, we have

extended the current offering to July 15, and plan to open the course

up again in early August for the fall.



These online materials constitute a full graduate course on numerical

linear algebra at a level similar to the books by Trefethen/Bau and

Demmel.  It encompasses (free) online notes, over 225 embedded YouTube

videos, exercises with detailed solutions, and Matlab programming

assignments.  The notes are available as PreTeXt-generated webpages

and, optionally, a PDF (of more than 600 pages).  At the present, we

have more than 1800 participants signed up for the course, from more

than 90 countries.  We carefully designed this course for independent

online study.



If you are currently teaching such a course, you may wish to point

your students to these materials as supplementary resources.  If you

have students who would benefit from a gradate treatment of linear

algebra for their future careers and now have time on their hands, you

may wish to suggest this course.  If you are planning to teach such a

course in the fall and are worried about whether there will again be a

closing of in-class learning, you may wish to consider adopting these

materials.



You can examine the online notes by visiting

http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/flame/laff/alaff/.  The edX course is

at edx.org (search for ALAFF).  Further information regarding this

course, and our other (free) MOOCs on undergraduate linear algebra,

programming for correctness, and programming for high performance can

be found at http://ulaff.net.



Feel free to reach out if you have questions.

Subject: CANCELLED, European Finite Element Fair, France, May 2020

The 18th European Finite Element Fair scheduled to be held in Paris on

May 15-16, 2020, is cancelled due to the current global sanitary

situation.



Depending on how the situation evolves, the Fair will be rescheduled

in the fall 2020 (tentatively to early December) or at its usual

timing in the spring 2021.



The organizing committee will evaluate the situation and make an

announcement on NA-digest and on the Fair's current web page

(https://efef2020.inria.fr/) in September.

Subject: POSTPONED, Fractional-Derivative Numerical Methods Conference, China, Jun 2020

The 4th Conference on Numerical Methods for Fractional-Derivative

Problems, which was scheduled to take place at Beijing CSRC on June 4-

6, is postponed. The organisers hope to run this conference in

September or later this year, but we cannot yet give a definite

date. When we have further information, we will update the conference

webpage http://www.csrc.ac.cn/en/event/workshop/2020-01-10/103.html

and also make an announcement on NA Digest.

Subject: POSTPONED, Computational Methods in Applied Mathematics, Austria, Jul 2020

Given the rapidly growing problems due to the Corona pandemic, we have

decided to postpone the 9th international conference on Computational

Methods in Applied Mathematics (CMAM-9) from July 2020 to September

13-17, 2021.



Homepage: https://www.asc.tuwien.ac.at/cmam2020/



The conference is organized under the aegis of the deGruyter journal

Computational Methods in Applied Mathematics (CMAM) and will be

focused on various aspects of mathematical modeling and numerical

methods for problems arising in natural sciences and engineering. In

particular, it aims at fostering cooperation between researchers

working in the area of theoretical numerical analysis and applications

to modeling, simulation, and scientific computing.

Subject: Householder Symposium XXI, Jun 2022

The Householder Symposium XXI on Numerical Linear Algebra has been

rescheduled to be held at Hotel Sierra Silvana, Selva di Fasano (Br),

Italy, 12-17 June 2022. Preliminary information can be found at

http://users.ba.cnr.it/iac/irmanm21/HHXXI/index.html .



The Symposium is very informal, with the intermingling of young and

established researchers a priority. Participants are expected to

attend the entire meeting. The eighteenth Householder Award for the

best thesis in numerical linear algebra since 1 January 2020 will be

presented.



Attendance at the meeting is by invitation only. Applications will be

solicited from researchers in numerical linear algebra, matrix theory,

and related areas such as optimization, differential equations, signal

processing, and control. Each attendee will be given the opportunity

to present a talk or a poster. Some talks will be plenary lectures,

while others will be shorter presentations arranged in parallel

sessions.



The application deadline will be some time in Fall 2021.



It is expected that partial support will be available for some

students, early career participants, and participants from countries

with limited resources.

The Faculty of Natural Sciences is seeking to appoint two new

Lecturers within the Division of Computing Science and Mathematics

(CSM), as part of an exciting new University of Stirling initiative to

deliver Graduate Apprenticeships in Data Science. These will help

strengthen existing industrial collaborations and form new

relationships with employers, as well as strengthen our related

research and teaching. These posts are open to computer scientists and

statisticians with top quality research and scholarship applicable to

the systems and analysis of large or complex data and, ideally, a

proven background of industrial collaborations. Computing scientists

with experience of teaching statistics at all levels are particularly

encouraged to apply.
