<br />Subject: Strang and Moler Video Course on Differential Equations

<br /><br />Gil Strang's videos for 18.06, the MIT course on Linear Algebra helped
<br />launch the MOOC revolution in higher education.  Now he has made a
<br />MOOC-style video course about differential equations based on his new
<br />book, "Differential Equations and Linear Algebra",
<br />http://math.mit.edu/~gs/dela.  There are 55 videos, averaging 15
<br />minutes each.  Here are the chapters.
<br />
<br />- Introduction
<br />- First Order Equations
<br />- Second Order Equations
<br />- Graphical and Numerical Methods
<br />- Vector Spaces and Subspaces
<br />- Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors
<br />- Applied Mathematics and ATA
<br />- Fourier and Laplace Transforms
<br />
<br />I have added a dozen videos, also averaging 15 minutes, about "Solving
<br />ODEs in MATLAB".
<br />

<br />Subject: Chebfun v5.4.0 Released

<br /><br />The Chebfun team is pleased to announce the release of Chebfun v5.4.0.
<br />This version comes with two major new features:
<br />
<br />- Spherefun for computing with functions on the unit sphere. (Written
<br />  by Alex Townsend, Heather Wilber, and Grady Wright.)
<br />
<br />- New SPIN/SPIN2 codes for solving stiff time-dependent PDEs in 1D and
<br />  2D using exponential integrators.  (Written by Hadrien Montanelli.)
<br />
<br />For further information, see the release notes at
<br />http://www.chebfun.org.  In the coming weeks, we expect to release
<br />Chebfun3 for computing with functions in 3D.

<br />(NJIT), Ron Haynes (Memorial) and Weizhang Huang (Kansas).
<br />
<br />If you are interested in attending, please contact us directly.  There
<br />is no registration fee, but we ask that you arrange and fund your own
<br />travel and accommodation.  We hope to partially or fully reimburse
<br />students and early-career researchers, but cannot provide any
<br />guarantees at this stage.

<br />Subject: Distance Geometry: Theory and Applications, USA, Jul 2016

<br /><br />DIMACS Workshop on Distance Geometry: Theory and Applications
<br />26-29 July 2016 at DIMACS, Rutgers University, NJ, USA
<br />http://dimacs.rutgers.edu/Workshops/Distance/
<br />
<br />Distance Geometry (DG) is a field of geometry which focuses on
<br />defining and working with geometrical objects using distances between
<br />points rather than the points themselves. From classical results such
<br />as Heron's theorem, Euler's conjecture on the rigidity of polyhedra,
<br />Maxwell's forces diagrams, and the link to positive semidefinite
<br />matrices, DG has seen a veritable "engineering renaissance" in the XX
<br />century. DG is used in architecture (rigidity of structures), spatial
<br />conformation of molecules from inter-atomic distances, localization of
<br />mobile sensors in communication networks, control of unmanned
<br />underwater vehicles, control of robotic arms, solution of problems in
<br />spatial logic, and more.
<br />
<br />Invited speakers: Amir Ali Ahmadi (Princeton Univ.); Abdo Alfakih
<br />(Univ. Windsor, Canada); Simon Billinge (Columbia Univ.); Bob Connelly
<br />(Cornell Univ.); Marcia Fampa (Federal Univ. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil);
<br />Hamza Fawzi (MIT); Douglas Goncalves (Federal Univ. Santa Catalina,
<br />Brazil); Steven Gortler (Harvard Univ.); Georgina Hall (Princeton
<br />Univ.); Bill Jackson (Queen Mary, Univ. of London, UK); Tibor Jordan
<br />(Eotvos Lorand Univ., Budapest, Hungary); Bahman Kalantari (Rutgers
<br />Univ.); Yuehaw Khoo (Princeton Univ.); Nathan Krislock (Northern
<br />Illnois Univ.); Carlile Lavor (Univ. of Campinas, Brazil); Jon Lee
<br />(Univ. of Michigan); Theres Malliavin (CNRS &Institut Pasteur, Paris,
<br />France); Onur Ozyesil (Princeton Univ.); Pablo Parrilo (MIT); Frank
<br />Permenter (MIT); Amit Singer (Princeton Univ.); Meera Sitharam
<br />(Univ. of Florida at Gainesville); Anthony Man-Cho So (Chinese
<br />Univ. of Hong Kong); Ileana Streinu (Smith College); Jayme Swarczfiter
<br />(Federal Univ. of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil); Shin-Ichi Tanigawa (Kyoto
<br />Univ., Japan); Antonios Varvitsiotis (NTU, Singapore); Martin Vetterli
<br />(EPFL, Switzerland); Henry Wolkowicz (Univ. Waterloo, Canada)
<br />
<br />We are currently calling for posters. Please write to Leo Liberti if
<br />you're interested in presenting a poster. A special issue of Discrete
<br />Applied Mathematics, dedicated to the topic of this workshop, will be
<br />guest edited by the co-chairs.

<br />Subject: PhD Positions, Norwegian Univ of Science and Technology

<br /><br />As part of the research project Waves and Nonlinear Phenomena (WaNP)
<br />we announce two positions as PhD candidates available from August 1,
<br />2016. The project is funded by the "Toppforsk" program of the Research
<br />Council of Norway.
<br />
<br />The main goal of WaNP (https://wiki.math.ntnu.no/wanp) is basic
<br />research in nonlinear and nonlocal partial differential
<br />equations. More specifically, the aim is to analyze the interplay of
<br />singularities and nonlocal effects in a class of carefully selected
<br />wave equations. As singularities appear, our tools to understand their
<br />behavior break down; and as nonlocal effects come into play, the study
<br />of essentially local singularities requires a global understanding of
<br />the problem. As part of our program we shall furthermore study both
<br />deterministic equations and equations with uncertainties. The research
<br />team involved in the current project comprises 6 faculty members and
<br />approximately 10 PhD candidates and postdoctoral fellows.
<br />
<br />Qualifications: The applicants should have a MSc-degree in mathematics
<br />with special focus in mathematical analysis or partial differential
<br />equations, or comparable competence. Candidates completing their
<br />MSc-degree in the spring 2016 are encouraged to apply.
<br />
<br />Applications are to be submitted electronically through
<br />www.jobbnorge.no.  For further information, see
<br />https://www.jobbnorge.no/ledige-
<br />stillinger/stilling/125388/2-phd-positions-in-mathematics, or contact
<br />Professor Helge Holden by email .
<br />
<br />Deadline: May 31, 2016.
