Subject: Information on Nicholson
In recent months I have posted a number of inquiries about historical
information on famous numerical analysts. This is another.
I am trying to find out information about Phyllis (?) Nicholson of
"Crank-Nicholson" fame. None of the standard reference sources that I
have access to have any data at all. There is a brief reference to her in
a book that Stephen Nash edited, but it doesn't give the kind of
biographical data I am looking for, like birth/death dates, where she was
educated, etc.
Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

Subject: Working with Trees
Dear NA Net'ers!
Can anybody recommend a library of functions (preferably in C) which allow
to work with trees (not necessarily binary) - cut them, find paths with
certain properties, etc.? Both freeware and commercial libraries could
be of interest to me. Trees are certainly a particular case of graphs but
performance is important to me and so I would prefer functions which use the
simple structure of trees. Nevertheless, if anybody knows about a good
library of functions to work with general graphs, please let me also know.
Any help will be greatly appreciated - I do not want to re-invent the
wheel!

Subject: SciMark 2.0 Numeric Java benchmark
"How fast is your Java platform for numerics?"
SciMark 2.0, a new version of the interactive Java numerical benchmark
is now available at
http://www.math.nist.gov/scimark
and is meant to provide an indication of how well Java environments
perform on numeric and scientific applications.
This new version has been almost entirely rewritten with new features
and updates to the various computational kernels (FFT, Monte Carlo, sparse
matrix computation, relaxation, and dense LU factorization).
Also, the scores are now reported in approximate Mflops for a more
meaningful comparison to similar C and Fortran codes.
SciMark 2.0 can be run directly within your browser, or downloaded
to run in other Java environments. The full source code is also available.
The web site includes bar-graph comparisons between various computer/Java
platforms, as well as an archive of submitted results.

Subject: Summer School on Numerical Simulation of Flows
EMS-WiR Summer School on
Numerical Simulation of Flows
Heidelberg September 6-21, 1999
G. Wittum, Heidelberg
The numerical simulation of flows is one of the central problems in
Scientific Computing. Complexity of flow simulations is so high that a
realistic description requires sophisticated mathematical methods and
models. In particular modeling and simulation of turbulent flows, nearly
incompressible flows, and multi-phase flows are challenging problems for
mathematical models and numerical methods.
There is a strong interest in this topic by numerous groups from
mathematical modelling and numerical simulation. Recently a number of
new mathematical models and methods have been introduced which are
highly relevant for flow simulations. Amongst others these are
multiscale modelling and numerics, homogenization, finite-element and
finite volume methods, spectral and h-p discretizations, grid adaptivity
and error estimators, multigrid and conjugate-gradient type methods and
wavelets. Another field of increasing importance is the development of
methods for the visualization of flows. The numerical simulation of
flows requires cooperation of several mathematical disciplines as
Analysis, Numerics, Mathematical Physics and Computational Science.
The European Mathematical Society (EMS) together with the research
network WiR will organize a summer school on Numerical Simulation of
Flows from Sept. 6 - 21, 1999 in Heidelberg. The summer school is a
joint event with AMIF (Applied Mathematics for Industrial Flow Problems)
and SFB 359 of Heidelberg University.
The Summer school will consist of a theoretical and a practical part,
each one lasting a week. The first week (Sept. 6-10, in Heidelberg) is
devoted to basic instruction. During this week mathematical models and
methods are presented in lectures given by specialists. In the second
week (Sept. 13-17) the participants will work on problems posed by the
lecturers in different places (Heidelberg, Freiburg, Stuttgart, Zuerich).
Finally the results of this work will be presented in a plenary meeting
(Sept. 20-21, in Heidelberg).

3 Year PhD Research Studentship
in
Computational Aeroacoustics
The School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences has a three year PhD
studentship for research in Computational Aeroacoustics.
The annual stipend for a suitable candidate is equivalent to an EPSRC
studentship.
The research will have theoretical and practical aspects, with the view of
developing tools and techniques for estimating and controlling flow induced
noise generation. It involves the development of Finite-Volume and
Finite-Difference methods, the simulation and analysis of engineering
and environmental applications and the validation of the resulting software
using data provided by collaborators.
Typical engineering applications may include vortex-blade interaction, wind
noise over high rise buildings and moving vehicles, road and rail tunnel
exit noise, and vehicle exhaust pipe noise.
The PhD student will be able to use state-of-the-art and in-house
computational codes such as PHOENICS and PHYSICA and to develop additional
modules to enhance aeroacoustics capability.
S/He will be able to use one of the most powerful multi-processor facilities
in the UK. The student will belong to
the Centre for Numerical Modelling and Processing Analysis which comprises
5 Professors, 3 Readers and 2 senior lecturers.
The Centre also has approximately 30 PhD students and 15 or so research
fellows working on various research topics.
The School consists of 50 members of teaching staff in three different streams,
namely Mathematics, Computing, and Statistics. Many staff have
overlapped interests and thus the School has interdisciplinary research
activities. The School will be relocated to Maritime Greenwich Campus on
1st August, 1999. This new campus is situated at the heart of Greenwich,
within the prestigious Wren buildings of the former Royal Naval College
complex.
Suitable candidates should have a first or upper second class degree in
Engineering, Science or Mathematics. Please send in your CV
