Subject: Sebastiano Seatzu (1941-2018)


Sebastiano Seatzu (1941-2018)

Sebastiano Seatzu suddenly passed away in Cagliari, Italy, on February
13, 2018.

He graduated with honor in Physics in 1965 at the University of
Cagliari, and he soon started to teach at the same university. At
first he taught Mathematical Analysis, later Numerical Analysis and
Operations Research, until his retirement in 2010. He continued to
teach occasionally also after his retirement.

Seatzu's research included Numerical Analysis, Approximation Theory,
Inverse Problems, and Differential and Integral Equations. He authored
or coauthored 3 books and 86 papers. He has been co-editor of Calcolo
and associate editor of Advances in Computational Mathematics. Seatzu
educated generations of students, who greatly appreciated his
commitment as a teacher, as well as his human qualities.

Sebastiano Seatzu is survived by his wife Rita, his son Francesco and
daughter Carla, and three grandchildren.

Condolence messages sent to sebastiano@bugs.unica.it will be forwarded
to the family.

Subject: New Book, A Second Course in Linear Algebra


A Second Course in Linear Algebra, by Stephan Ramon Garcia and
Roger A. Horn, Cambridge University Press, 2018, 426 pages.
ISBN: 9781107103818.

Linear algebra and matrix methods are increasingly relevant in a world
focused on the acquisition and analysis of data. Consequently, this
book is intended for students of pure and applied mathematics,
computer science, economics, engineering, mathematical biology,
operations research, physics, and statistics. We assume that the
reader has completed a lower-division calculus sequence and a first
course in linear algebra.

Noteworthy features of this book include:
- Block matrices are employed systematically.
- Matrices and matrix factorizations are emphasized.
- Transformations that involve unitary matrices are emphasized.
- Numerous examples appear throughout the text.
- Figures illustrate the geometric foundations of linear algebra.
- Topics for a one-semester course are arranged in a sequence of short
chapters.
- Many chapters conclude with sections devoted to special topics.
- Each chapter includes a problem section (more than 600 problems in
total).
- Notes sections provide references to sources of additional information.
- Each chapter concludes with a bullet list of important concepts.
- Symbols used in the book are listed in a table of notation, with
page references.
- An index with more than 1700 entries helps locate concepts and
definitions.

experience in writing her/his own Lattice-Boltzmann code and running
first simulations within a week and (ii) gets familiar with the basics
of the underlying theory. Course material will include slides of the
lectures, lecture notes and a framework code.

Applicants should send a CV, a short letter of purpose (one page) and
a brief letter of recommendation from their research advisor to
pjschmid@imperial.ac.uk or shervin@mech.kth.se. The application

The annual Sparse Days meeting will be held at CERFACS in Toulouse on
27th and 28th September 2018 although it might be extended to start on
26th September.

Registration is free but we ask people who are coming to register as
soon as possible so we can judge numbers to see whether the extra day
is needed and how large a lecture room we will need.

You should register before August 26th by completing the online form:
https://cerfacs.fr/en/sparse-days-meeting-2018-at-cerfacs-toulouse/
indicating whether you want to give a talk. We will not have any
parallel sessions hence the need to know this when planning the
schedule. Although an emphasis will be on parallel aspects, any talk
that has an association with sparsity is welcome. The length for a
talk plus questions is 30 minutes although this is negotiable in
either direction.

Information on accommodation can be found on the web page and a
limited amount of free on site accommodation should be available for
students. Students wanting to apply for this accommodation should
contact Brigitte Yzel on yzel@cerfacs.fr.
