This school focuses on multiscale modelling of electrophysiology and mechanics of the heart, and related material in computational neurophysiology and pharmacology. We are currently seeking master's and early doctoral students to participate, and will accept applications until February 12th 2021. The initial series of lectures will be hosted by Simula Research Laboratory in Oslo, Norway (June 21st- July 2nd), followed by project work, a workshop in scientific writing from Nature Masterclasses, and final presentations hosted by the University of California San Diego from August 9th-17th. The travel and accommodation expenses for successful applicants will be supported by grants from Simula. Due to COVID-19, logistics and locations for the 2021 school are not yet decided. The school may be conducted remotely. Details regarding scheduling, logistics, core scientific material, and the application process can be found through our online call for participation: http://www.simula.no/sscp Contacts: Scientific content: Kimberly McCabe ([log in to unmask]) General inquiries: [log in to unmask] ------------------------------------------------------- From: Michael Dumbser [log in to unmask] Date: December 22, 2020 Subject: Adv Num Meth for Hyperbolic Equations, ONLINE, Feb 2021 Short Course on Advanced Numerical Methods for Hyperbolic Equations Laboratory of Applied Mathematics, University of Trento, Italy The course will also be made available online via ZOOM Lecturers: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael Dumbser and Dr. Saray Busto Dates: February 1-5 2021 Website: http://www.unitn.it/nm2021 Course fee: 250 EUR (online) This advanced short course is primarily designed for PhD students and post-doctoral researchers in applied mathematics, scientific computing, and computational physics and computational mechanics. Summary: The course consists in a structured intensive one-week programme of 40 hours of theoretical lectures and computer laboratory exercises on advanced numerical methods for hyperbolic partial differential equations with applications in engineering and science. The course covers high order finite volume and discontinuous Galerkin methods, also on unstructured triangular simplex meshes; Riemann solvers, higher order TVD, ENO and WENO schemes, the discretization of hyperbolic PDE with non-conservative products, well balanced schemes as well as meshless Lagrangian particle methods. The lectures are supplemented with computer laboratory exercises to provide practical hands-on experience concerning the practical aspects of the implementation of these advanced numerical methods. Further information can be found on the dedicated web page http://www.unitn.it/nm2021 The deadline for registration is January 29th 2021. For further questions, please contact: Prof. Dr.-Ing.

You'll learn by programming machine learning algorithms from scratch in a hands-on manner using a one-of-a-kind cloud-based interactive computational textbook that will guide you, and check your progress, step-by-step. Using real-world datasets and datasets of your choosing, you will understand, and we will discuss, via computational discovery and critical reasoning, the strengths and limitations of the algorithms and how they can or cannot be overcome. You will understand how machine learning algorithms do what they claim to do so you can reproduce these while being able to reason about and spot wild, unsupported claims of their efficacy. By the end of the course, you will be ready to harness the power of machine learning in your daily job and prototype, we hope, innovative new ML applications for your company with datasets you alone have access to. It's ideal for folks who want to go deeper than a regular MOOC and want to learn by coding. See https://continuum.engin.umich.edu/programs/jumpstart-ml/ for a description -- apply by Jan 8th, 2021 for cohort starting Feb 15th. See https://continuum.engin.umich.edu/programs/jumpstart-ml/testimonials-and-advice/ for testimonials from the pilot cohort. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Gunilla Kreiss [log in to unmask] Date: December 21, 2020 Subject: BIT60, Sweden, Aug 2021 The first issue of BIT, journal for numerical mathematics, was published in 1961, and to celebrate 60 years of BIT we will arrange a conference in Uppsala, Sweden, August 17-19 2021. The scope of BIT includes theoretical, computational and applied aspects of solving PDE and ODE, as well as numerical linear algebra and approximation. These will also be the themes for the conference. There will be invited talks by associate editors, and contributed sessions, where we welcome any topic within the scope of BIT. To enable broad participation we are planning for a very low conference fee. More information such as confirmed speakers, deadlines for submitting abstracts and registrations will be published on http://www.it.uu.se/conferences/BIT60 as soon as it is available. However, the conference will only take place if the pandemic situation has improved to a point where meeting in large groups and travel is considered safe. Let's all hope for the best, so that we can welcome you in Uppsala in August! ------------------------------------------------------- From: NAPOV Artem [log in to unmask] Date: December 22, 2020 Subject: Faculty Position, Applied Mathematics, ULB, Belgium The School of Engineering of Universite Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) is announcing a full-time academic position in Applied Mathematics.
