Proofs describing profound ways to reason lead to results that are frequently startling, beautiful, and useful. Measure theory and probability also play roles in the development of pure and applied mathematics, statistics, engineering, physics, and finance. Indeed, it is difficult to overstate their importance in the quantitative disciplines. This book traces an eclectic path through the fundamentals of the topic to make the material accessible to a broad range of students. A Ramble through Probability: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Measure Theory brings together the key elements and applications in a unified presentation aimed at developing intuition; contains an extensive collection of examples that illustrate, explain, and apply the theories; and is supplemented with videos containing commentary and explanations of select proofs on an ancillary website. 2024 / xvi + 603 pages / Softcover / 978-1-61197-781-3/ List $94.00 / SIAM Member $64.80 / CS29 Bookstore link: https://epubs.siam.org/doi/10.1137/1.9781611977820 ------------------------------------------------------- From: Niall Bootland [log in to unmask] Date: March 11, 2024 Subject: Bath-RAL NA Day, UK, Apr 2024 The 19th annual Bath-RAL NA Day will be held on Wednesday 3rd April at Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution (BRLSI) in central Bath.

Turbulence in environmental flows Abstract. Turbulence is one of the last mysteries, not yet fully understood, in nonlinear fluid mechanics (including multiphase flows). In this course, we provide an introduction to turbulence by coupling the analysis of the most used numerical models (e.g., k-epsilon model) and the interpretation of real-world measurements, with a special focus on processes occurring in the atmosphere and in stratified water bodies such as lakes. The course covers theoretical and numerical aspects of turbulence modelling and introduces the necessary statistical tools for the analysis of data from turbulence observations both in the field and in the laboratory. Theoretical aspects are supported by numerous hands-on tutorials. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Carlo de Falco [log in to unmask] Date: March 13, 2024 Subject: HPCSIM Workshop, Itlay, Jul 2024 e gladly announce the forthcoming HPCSIM Workshop - Frontiers of High-Performance Computing in Modeling and Simulation- at Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy, on July 4-5, 2024.
