Trefethen In 1940 G. H. Hardy published A Mathematician's Apology, a meditation on mathematics by a leading pure mathematician. Eighty-two years later, An Applied Mathematician's Apology is a meditation and also a personal memoir by a philosophically inclined numerical analyst, one who has found great joy in his work but is puzzled by its relationship to the rest of mathematics. 2022 / viii + 80 pages / Softcover / 978-1-611977-18-9 / List $36.00 / SIAM Member $25.20 / OT182 SIAM Bookstore: https://my.siam.org/Store/Product/viewproduct/?ProductId=42813032 ------------------------------------------------------- From: Volker Schulz [log in to unmask] Date: June 08, 2022 Subject: Algorithmic Optimization and Data Science, Germany, Jul 22 ALOP Workshop on Algorithmic Optimization and Data Science July 20-22, 2022 Trier, Germany Please note that the registration deadline has been postponed to June 24, 2022.

Students, post-docs, faculty and scientists from Ghanaian universities and other research institutions are invited to present their results/interests and discuss their ideas. Apart from strengthening already established contacts, this workshop also hopes to provide an opportunity to start new collaborations. It will be a two-day event with contributed talks of 20 minutes including questions and 5 minutes for Poster presentation. There is no registration fee, however, all interested participants are required to register. Registration to participate via online platform and to receive the link is open on the workshop website via https://bit.ly/3zwtpdu The application deadline is August 17, 2022. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Mapundi Kondwani Banda [log in to unmask] Date: June 08, 2022 Subject: Lecturer/Senior Lecturer Positions, Math/Applied Math, Univ of Pretoria The Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics in the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences, University of Pretoria, is seeking to appoint Lecturers/Senior Lecturers (four positions).

The fellowship will be awarded to an excellent applicant who has strong mathematical and computational skills, especially in analysis and partial differential equations, and a good research record especially in applications of evolution models, their numerical methods, and optimal control. The call is open to applicants who are in possession of a PhD degree relevant to the above research topic. Applicants should send a cover letter (maximum one page) indicating their personal goals and motivation for the application with an attached degree certificate, CV and additional evidence of achievements such as the list of publications, reports, distinctions, awards, as well as the names and contact details of two referees. Applications and questions can be addressed to Mapundi Banda ([log in to unmask]). ------------------------------------------------------- From: Miguel A. Fernández [log in to unmask] Date: June 08, 2022 Subject: Postdoc Position, Modeling and Scientific Computing, France We are looking for an excellent and highly motivated postdoc to join the COMMEDIA projet-team at Inria Paris: https://team.inria.fr/commedia The research will focus on the development of mathematical models and numerical approaches for the estimation of blood pressure in the human wrist (systolic/diastolic) from photoplethysmography measurements. A complete description of the position, the conditions offered and of how to apply can be found here: https://jobs.inria.fr/public/classic/en/offres/2022- 04801 ------------------------------------------------------- From: Stefan Engblom [log in to unmask] Date: June 08, 2022 Subject: PhD Position, e-Science for Epidemiology, Uppsala Univ, Sweden This project will tackle the considerable challenges of computational modeling to estimate and predict the state of an epidemic. We will do so using data from novel monitoring techniques involving non-traditional sources of data. This PhD position is part of the eSSENCE-SciLifeLab graduate school in data-intensive science and comes equipped with generous funding and support infrastructures. Specific requirements for the project include proficiency in programming (e.g., Matlab or Python), as well as knowledge in one or more of computational science, systems identification, or machine learning. Experience and courses in applied mathematics, statistics, and dynamical systems are also valued. Please read more about the details of the project here: https://user.it.uu.se/~stefane/formalia/SysCon2022_SLL-eSSENCE-PhD.pdf Please apply via the online system (state project #2): https://uu.se/en/about-uu/join-us/details/?positionId=507667 Deadline to apply is June 20. ------------------------------------------------------- End of Digest **************************
