Subject: Congrats, Dick
Richard Varga will be 70 on Oct 8, 1998. Congratulations, Dick!
Varga has had a tremendous influence through his books, papers and
lectures. He has been an inspiration to many of us and in my case, he
served as a mentor and supporter.
We owe him much for our understanding of iterative methods.
So thanks for all, Dick.

PS A meeting in Varga's honor is planned in the spring in Kent,Ohio.

Subject: Malicious Deletions from NA Digest
On the morning of September 27, someone maliciously deleted several
hundred NA Digest entries using the web page. No particular individuals
were selected for the attack - the attacker was apparently deleting every
entry from A to Z. (He or she got to the "G"s before the attack was thwarted.)
We have restored the database of September 26 from backup tapes.
We have also temporarily disabled the "change" and "remove" commands
for both the NA-Net and the White Pages, until we can implement
a mechanism which makes it more difficult for attackers to cause harm.
(the requests are being diverted to an alternate mailbox and are never
seen by na-net)
We have (not surprisingly) received several hundred complaints about
the deleted entries. Please be assured that we are aware of the
problem, and have taken the best corrective action that we know of --
but that we are unable to answer several hundred email messages.
Many of those who responded have requested that their WP information
be updated. Unfortunately, there were too many such requests for us
to handle them. However, once the "change" service is available again,
it will be easy to make such changes through the web interface. We
will send another announcement when the "change" service is again
available, with the URL of the web page where changes can be made.
Thanks for your patience while we resolve this problem,

Subject: Looking for Fast Effective Point in a Polyhedra Test
I'm currently writing a particle tracking algorithm which tracks particles
using a Lagrangian description through a complex three-dimensional grid. I'm
looking for a fast algorithm that would test if the point (x,y,z) is
contained in a polyhedra (defined by it's vertices). If anyone could help me
out here, I'd be very helpful.

Subject: Question on Perimetric Inequality
Dear members of Na_Net,
I would like to request your assistance on the following problem :
Consider a plane closed contour C
(as regular as needed, convex if necessary)
of length L, enclosing a domain D of area A.
Call n=(nx,ny) the outward unitary normal to C.
I'd like to find a majoration of I=integral_over_C(nx*nx ds)
Of course, we have I <= L.
But, for example: for a circle of radius R, I=Pi.R=L/2
The majoration could involve A, the maximum width of D, etc...
I'd like to find a majoration which is exact in the particular
cases ot rectangles and circles...
Do you have any ideas or references on this type of questions?
Thanks for your attention,
Regards,
Serge Piperno

Subject: New Book, Computational Integration
We would like to announce our new book
COMPUTATIONAL INTEGRATION
Arnold R. Krommer and Christoph W. Ueberhuber
SIAM Press, Philadelphia, May 1998.
xx + 445 pages / Softcover / ISBN 0-89871-374-9
This is the first book in over 10 years dedicated to a comprehensive discussion
of computational integration methods and the fundamental mathematical
principles they are based on. It gives special coverage of many recent
developments, such as parallel integration algorithms, that have not yet been
coherently presented in any other textbook. It also attempts to bridge the gap
between theoretical knowledge about and practical application of computational
integration by providing references to and descriptions of numerous relevant
software products.
This survey covers a wide range of topics fundamental to calculating integrals
on computer systems and discusses both the theoretical and computational
aspects of numerical and symbolic methods. It includes extensive sections on
one- and multidimensional integration formulas, like polynomial, number-
theoretic, and pseudorandom formulas, and deals with issues concerning the
construction of numerical integration algorithms, including error estimation,
discretization refinement, and convergence acceleration. Individual chapters
are dedicated to parallel integration algorithms, the assessment of numerical
integration software, and numerical methods tailored to particular kinds of
integration problems involving,for instance, oscillatory or singular integrands.
This book is appropriate as a textbook for advanced courses in scientific
computing and numerical analysis. It also is a valuable reference for
computational scientists and engineers working on problems for which reliable
and efficient methods for calculating integrals are required. Researchers in
applied numerical analysis and mathematical software development will
appreciate its well-organized presentation of the subject and its extensive
bibliography.

Subject: Faculty Position at NTNU, Norway.
PROFESSORSHIP/QUALIFICATION FELLOWSHIP IN MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES
NUMERICAL MATHEMATICS/SUPERCOMPUTING
A brief summary of the announcement follows, more detailed information
will soon be made available at http://www.math.ntnu.no/cse/
The Department of Mathematical Sciences in the Faculty of Physics,
Informatics and Mathematics, at the Norwegian University of Science
and Technology (NTNU) announces the following vacant
professorship/qualification fellowship in Mathematical Sciences/
Computational Science. The department currently holds
25 chairs for full professors, 5 chairs for adjunct professors, 19
chairs for associate professors and 30 dr.ing.-/scient.students.
The Norwegian University of Science and Technology is currently
coordinating its supercomputing activities (Computational Science).
This position is one of two professorships associated with this
activity. The second professorship will be at the Department of
Computer and Information Science.
The position may alternatively be defined as a qualification
fellowship for a period of up to 3 years, similar to a tenure track
position in other countries. Thus young, ambitious researchers are also
encouraged to apply. In this case, the duration of the appointment
depends on how long it takes for the fellowship holder to obtain
professorial qualifications. At the end of the three years, the
candidate has the right to be evaluated for permanent employment as a
professor prior to a new announcement being made for a vacant
professorship.
It is assumed that professors who do not already master a Scandinavian
language are to obtain knowledge of Norwegian or another Scandinavian
language within three years from the date of appointement. The
language skills must then be at an equivalent standard to level three
in the Norwegian for Foreigners courses provided at the Department of
Applied Linguistics. The University provides such courses.
As NTNU would like to increase the percentage of females in academic
positions, women are invited to apply.
Further details about the professorship/fellowship can be obtained
from professor Syvert P. N=F8rsett, tel. +47 73 59 35 45. E-mail:
norsett@math.ntnu.no or Associate Professor Brynjulf Owren, tel +47 73

Applications are to be sent to the Norwegian University of Science and
Technology, Faculty of Physics, Informatics and Mathematics. The
application deadline is October 23, 1998. The file number for the
