Subject: New Book, Discourse on Fourier Series


Announcing the September 12, 2016, publication by SIAM of:
Discourse on Fourier Series by Cornelius Lanczos

xvi + 255 pages / 978-1-611974-51-5 / Softcover / List Price $69.00 /
SIAM Member Price $48.30 / CL76

“This is a radically different approach from modern mathematics texts,
which tend to hide behind vast arrays of symbols and formalism.
Lanczos, like Feynman, was so brilliant that even very complicated
mathematics and physics seemed simple to him. His goal was to help the
reader see how simple it all was, too.” -From the foreword by John
Boyd

Originally published in 1966, this well-written and still-cited text
covers Fourier analysis, a foundation of science and engineering. Many
modern textbooks are filled with specialized terms and equations that
may be confusing, but this book uses a friendly, conversational tone
to clarify the material and engage the reader. The author meticulously
develops the topic and uses 161 problems integrated into the text to
walk the student down the simplest path to a solution.

Subject: Postdoc Positions, Large Scale Linear Algebra, England


We are inviting applications for a postdoctoral position open in the
Numerical Linear Algebra Group at the University of Manchester,
UK. The successful candidates will join Numerical Linear Algebra for
Future and Emerging Technologies (NLAFET) collaboration
(http://www.nlafet.eu), a project funded by the European Commission
and involving the University of Manchester, INRIA, Umea University,
and STFC/RAL. They will conduct research on dense and sparse linear
algebra solvers aiming at a significant reduction of communication and
thus suitable for future and emerging large-scale computers. The
algorithms developed will be validated on several applications
targeted by NLAFET, such as computational fluid dynamics,
astrophysics, etc. A close collaboration and visits with the other
partners of the project will be involved.

Future extreme-scale supercomputers will be heterogeneous and lead to
new and challenging demands for efficient numerical algorithms and
parallel software libraries. The aim of NLAFET is to tackle these
challenges and ultimately deliver new scalable numerical libraries for
fundamental problems in numerical linear algebra, including the
solution of dense and sparse systems of equations and eigenvalue
problems. Achieving this requires a co-design effort including
developing novel algorithms, exploration of advanced scheduling
strategies and runtime systems, offline and online autotuning, as well
as avoiding communication and synchronization bottlenecks.

The position will focus on design, implementation, and evaluation of
parallel algorithms for numerical linear algebra with regards to the
extreme-scale challenges. The research will be done in close
collaboration with recognized researchers and PhD students in the
research group as well as with other partners in NLAFET.

This post offers a full-time 24-month research appointment.

Informal enquiries may be made to: Professor Jack Dongarra. Email:
