Subject: Positions at Bergen Scientific Centre
BERGEN SCIENTIFIC CENTRE, IBM
VISITING POSITIONS FOR
APPLIED MATHEMATICIANS
The Bergen Scientific Centre would be interested to hear from senior
applied mathematicians who wish to work at the Centre for periods of
one to two years.
The Centre is engaged in Numerical Reservoir Modelling, Numerical
Seismic Processing, Boundary & Finite Element Computations,
Oceanographic Modelling and Computer Animation.
The research conducted in the Centre involves the application of
analytical and numerical techniques for the development of algorithms
and software for parallel processing applied to the above areas.
Visitors are expected to participate in the existing projects at the
Centre and they are encouraged to publish the results of their research
in both the Centre's and their home institution's technical report series
and in refereed journals.
Because of the nature of the work at the Centre it is possible for visiting
academics from the United States and Israel to apply to the Norwegian
authorities for tax exemption.
For further information please send a detailed resume to Patrick Gaffney,
Bergen Scientific Centre, Allegaten 36, 5007 Bergen, NORWAY.

We have a number of openings for September 1989. Applications are
invited for a regular faculty position at the full or senior associate
professor level. Applicants must have a proven national reputation for
excellent research and a commitment to quality teaching. Several
visiting positions are also available, and there is a possibility of one
or more additional tenure-track openings. All applicants should have an
active record of publication in major refereed statistics journals.
Researchers in biometry or categorical data analysis are particularly
encouraged to apply.
The Department has 24 full-time and 10 affiliated faculty, and 50
students in our M.S. and Ph.D. programs. We have our own UNIX-based
VAX 11/750 computer and Sun Workstations, Statistics Library, and
extensive computing and library facilities available throughout the
University. AA/EOE. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.

Subject: GAMS Software
I am interested in using the GAMS software in teaching a modeling course.
This course uses linear programming as the basic tool for solving
management science problems, though some nonlinear and mixed-integer
models can be expected. Has anyone else used this package in a
teaching environment? The packaged can be purchased from Scientific Press.

Subject: More About the Catalog of Algorithms for Approximation
Thank you all for your comments on the catalog mentioned in the last
na-digest. A couple people asked about keyword searching;
mail netlib@research.att.com
whois de Boor in approximation.
will return the matching BibTeX items. Because this file is updated
frequently, it is only being maintained at research.att.com, not
anl-mcs.arpa.
As mentioned in the paper version (to appear in proceedings of the
Shrivenham conference), this catalog tries only to cite papers most
closely related to final code, not necessarily the original source;
don't take offense if your favorite paper isn't listed.

COMPUTATIONAL ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
Imperial College, London 3rd-7th July, 1989
CALL FOR PAPERS AND POSTERS
The IMA is organising a conference on Computational Ordinary Differential
Equations, to be held at Imperial College, London, in July, 1989.
The aim of this meeting is to bring together research workers and
practitioners in theory and algorithms for the numerical solution
of ordinary differential equations . All relevant topics are to be
covered and contributions in application areas will be encouraged .
The invited speakers are

In addition , the programme will feature `` highlighted '' talks ,
contributed papers and posters . The highlighted and contributed
papers will be of 40 and 20 minutes presentation time respectively.
The highlighted papers will be selected by the Organising Committee on
the basis of an extended abstract ( 1000 words ) , contributed papers and
posters on the basis of a 300 word abstract. Abstracts for all categories
should be sent to the IMA and must be received by 15th January 1989.
Authors will be notified of the committee's decision during March 1989.
