Subject: Conference Honoring Ake Bjorck
FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
In celebration of Ake Bjorck's 60'th birthday a conference will be
held at Linkoping University, January 9-10, 1995. The theme of the
conference will be
LEAST SQUARES METHODS: THEORY, ALGORITHMS and APPLICATIONS
The aim of the conference is to celebrate the many contributions of
Ake Bjorck to numerical analysis. This is best done by bringing
together scientists working in the field of numerical linear algebra
to discuss the latest development concerning least squares methods.
It is an interesting coincidence that in 1995 it will be 200 years
since the the least squares method was first used (according to Gauss
in his dispute with Legendre).
The following speakers have agreed to give a talk:
Iain Duff Rutherford Laboratory and CERFACS
Gene Golub Stanford University
Chris Paige McGill University
Haesun Park University of Minnesota
Mike Saunders Stanford University
Pete Stewart University of Maryland
Charles Van Loan Cornell University
Jim Varah University of British Columbia
In addition there will be a number of contributed 20 min. talks.
No conference proceedings will be published. Participants and
contributors should notice the following dates.
June 1, 1994 Second announcement
September 1, 1994 Deadline for paper submission
October 15, 1994 Notification of acceptance
November 15, 1994 Final date for registration
January 9-10, 1995 Conference
A conference dinner and birthday party will be held on the evening of
Monday, January 9.

Subject: Mathematicians on Coins and Bills
I am interested in knowing of any coins or bills
that have a mathematician's picture on them.
The German two-mark coin, for example, shows Max Planck
(I know he's really not a mathematician per se, but a
physicist of that stature sure comes close!)
I would appreciate hearing from you if you know.

Subject: 1994 SIAM Forum - Mathematics in Industry
1994 SIAM FORUM MATHEMATICS IN INDUSTRY: THE JOB MARKET OF THE
FUTURE July 23, 1994 Holiday Inn at the Embarcadero, San Diego,
California
Panel sessions and presentations for mathematicians in business,
industry, government, and academia will focus on The Job Market
of the Future:
Mathematics in Smaller Firms A panel discussion of practices,
opportunities, and experiences of mathematicians working in
smaller firms, a rapidly growing segment of American business.
Experiences of Recent Industrial Hires Brief presentations and
discussions from some who recently started working in industry.
How did they find their positions? What do they do? What do
they wish they knew in graduate school that they know now?
Hiring: the Manager's Perspective Managers discuss the processes
and practices of hiring industry and government. Who makes the
decisions and how? What are current needs, practices and
opportunities? Who is getting what kinds of positions?
Bridging from Academia to Industry How do academic
mathematicians build bridges to industry? What programs are
available for student and faculty internships in industry and
government? What support can university relations offices
provide? How are alumni networks built?
Non-Mathematicians Who Do Mathematics In Industry Many
individuals whose terminal degrees are not in mathematics work
in industry as applied mathematicians. How did they come to
applied mathematics? What kinds of problems do they work on?
How did they get their positions? What can those with
mathematics degrees learn from their experiences?
The Forum is sponsored by SIAM to promote exchange within the
community on important issues and to inform and energize it.
Extensive audience participation is always a key feature of the
SIAM Forum. Informal meals and receptions will offer further
opportunities for interaction and networking.
This forum is being conducted with partial support from the
Department of Energy.

Subject: Spectral Multi-Domain Workshop
Dear Colleagues,
The final plans for the Multi-Domain Workshop 94 are being drawn up
and we are looking forward to the event. Please note that the
registration fee for the event has been reduced to $60 ($50 for
grad students). All who have registered at the previous amount
will be reimbursed for the difference.

Announcement for Spectral Multi-Domain Methods Workshop
May 16-18, 1994
Center for Research in Scientific Computing
North Carolina State University
Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
Topic: Spectral multi-domain methods. A major theme will be the topic
of interface conditions. There is an intricate balance between what
happens at the interfaces and the trade-offs between the discrete-
ization and the actual implementation. This is further compounded
when considering different computational architectures. Other topics
will include how to implement the methods and some basic results. The
presentations will begin with an introduction to the techniques and
will include some of the latest results to this growing field. Our
primary interest is to provide a forum for attendees to freely
exchange ideas with a view to collaboration.
Format: We anticipate each speaker providing an introductory lecture
and a lecture on their area of expertise. The introductory lectures
can be coordinated so that topics central to spectral multi-domain
techniques are covered. Presentations are limited to the invited
speakers; however, there will be a poster session. Also, the number
of attendees will be limited in the interest of providing a more
intimate setting.
