Subject: Teaching Tools
Dear all,
There is always a discussion whether or not to combine teaching
of programming with teaching of numerical analysis. It is clear
that teaching of numerical analysis without computing makes
little sense. The following tool tries to minimize the part of
teaching in programming and is now available in the English
language: http://numawww.mathematik.tu-darmstadt.de
Your comments and suggestions are welcome.

Subject: New Book, Numerical Methods for ODEs: IVPs
Announcing the publication by Springer of
Numerical Methods for Ordinary Differential Equations:
Initial Value Problems,
by David F. Griffiths and Desmond J. Higham
Springer Undergraduate Mathematics Series, 2010, Paperback
271 pages, ISBN 0857291475, price: $45.95 (US), =A319.99 (UK)
Written for undergraduate students with a mathematical
background, this book focuses on the analysis of numerical
methods for ODEs without losing sight of the practical nature of
the subject. It covers the topics traditionally treated in a
first course, but also highlights new and emerging themes,
including error control, dynamical systems, modified equations,
symplectic methods and stochastic differential equations.
Chapters are broken down into `lecture' sized pieces, motivated
and illustrated by numerous theoretical and computational
examples. Over 200 exercises are presented, with solutions
available to authorized instructors.

Subject: New Book, Handbook of Sinc Numerical Methods
"Handbook of Sinc Numerical Methods", Frank Stenger, University
of Utah, Salt Lake City, USA. Series: Chapman and Hall/CRC
Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computation Series. $99.95.
This handbook, consisting mainly of the author's research
work since 1995, presents a family of methods based on sinc
approximation for approximating every operation of calculus in
one dimension, and for solving elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic
PDE (partial differential equations) in more than one dimension.
It also contains an accompanying CD of over 450 Matlab programs
for illustrating and for facilitating usage of the methods.
One dimensional methods include interpolation, quadrature,
definite and indefinite integration, DFT, and solution of ODE
over finite, semi-infinite and infinite intervals and over
contours. Computational settings are in spaces of analytic
functions that may have "Lip-alpha" type singularities at
end-points, enabling convergence of the order of exp(-c n^{1/2})
for one-dimensional n-point formulas, even when the nature of the
singularities is unknown.
Similarly straight forward are indefinite integration,
indefinite convolution, Hilbert transforms, analytic
continuation, Laplace transform inversion, Cauchy singular
integral equations, Wiener-Hopf problems, Abel-type, fractional
integrals and associated integral equations and conformal maps.
In more than one dimension, analyticity of solutions on
analytic arcs in the domain result for enabling solutions to
elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic PDE by using one dimensional
Sinc methods (separation of variables) even over curvilinear
regions, provided, in essence, that the PDE, boundary of domain,
etc., are modeled using calculus. This contradicts, under our
assumptions, the Morse & Feshbach 1953 separation of variables
results which they proved for the case of the 3-d Helmholtz and
Poisson equations.

Subject: DUNE Spring Course, Germany, Mar 2011
The Distributed and Unified Numerics Environment (DUNE) is a
software framework for the numerical solution of partial
differential equations with grid-based methods. Using generic
programming techniques it strives for both: high flexibility
(efficiency of the programmer) and high performance (efficiency
of the program). DUNE provides, among other things, a large
variety of local mesh refinement techniques, a scalable parallel
programming model, an ample collection of finite element methods
and efficient linear solvers.
This one week course will provide an introduction to the most
important DUNE modules. At the end the attendees will have a
solid knowledge of the simulation workflow from mesh generation
and implementation of finite element and finite volume methods to
visualization of the results. Successful participation requires
knowledge of object-oriented programming using C++ including
generic programming with templates. A solid background on
numerical methods for the solution of PDEs is expected.
Dates: March 21 2011 - March 25 2011
Course venue: Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing
University of Heidelberg, Im Neuenheimer Feld 350/368
69120 Heidelberg, Germany
Cost: The cost for this course is 150 Euros including course
material, coffee and lunch breaks as well as course dinner on
Wednesday. Free for members of the University of Heidelberg.
