Subject: Webinar, Software for Linear Algebra Targeting Exascales (SLATE)


Friday 5 July 2019
14:00hrs BST / 15:00hrs CEST

In this 30 minute live webinar, Jack Dongara will discuss the SLATE
Project. SLATE is to provide fundamental dense linear algebra
capabilities for today's high-performance computing (HPC)
community. To this end, SLATE will provide basic dense matrix
operations (e.g., matrix multiplication, rank-k update, triangular
solve), linear systems solvers, least square solvers, singular value
and eigenvalue solvers.

The ultimate objective of SLATE is to replace the Scalable Linear
Algebra PACKage (ScaLAPACK) library, which has become the industry
standard for dense linear algebra operations in distributed memory
environments. However, after two decades of operation, ScaLAPACK is
past the end of its lifecycle and overdue for a replacement, as it can
hardly be retrofitted to support hardware accelerators, which are an
integral part of today's HPC hardware infrastructure.

Subject: New Book, Probability and Mathematical Statistics


Probability and Mathematical Statistics: Theory, Applications, and
Practice in R by Mary C. Meyer

This book develops the theory of probability and mathematical
statistics with the goal of analyzing real-world data. Throughout the
text, the R package is used to compute probabilities, check
analytically computed answers, simulate probability distributions,
illustrate answers with appropriate graphics, and help students
develop intuition surrounding probability and statistics. Examples,
demonstrations, and exercises in the R programming language serve to
reinforce ideas and facilitate understanding and confidence.

Mary C. Meyer is a statistics professor at Colorado State University,
where her main area of research is estimation and inference in
statistical models with inequality constraints. This includes
nonparametric function estimation using constrained regression
splines, density and hazard function estimation with shape
constraints, and models with order restrictions.

Subject: New Book, Mathematical Modelling of the Human Cardiovascular System


Mathematical Modelling of the Human Cardiovascular System - Data,
Numerical Approximation, Clinical Application,
by Quarteroni A., Dede' L., Manzoni A., Vergara C, Cambridge
University Press
https://www.cambridge.org/it/academic/subjects/mathematics/mathematical-modelling-
and-methods/mathematical-modelling-human-cardiovascular-system-data-numeric\
al-approximation-clinical-applications?format=HB&isbn=9781108480390

In this book the two principal aspects of the cardiovascular system
are addressed: arterial circulation and heart function. All aspects of
the problem are described, ranging from data imaging acquisition,
stating the basic physical principles, analyzing the associated
mathematical models that comprise PDE and ODE systems, proposing sound
and efficient numerical methods for their approximation, and reporting
numerical results for both benchmark problems and clinically inspired
problems. Critical issues involve filtering the data, identifying the
parameters of mathematical models, devising optimal treatments and
accounting for uncertainties. For this reason, the final part of the
book is devoted to control and inverse problems, including parameter
estimation, uncertainty quantification and the development of
reduced-order models.

Subject: Postdoc Position, Investigating Prospective Teachers Experiences


The Center for Research in Mathematical Sciences Applied to Industry
(CEPID-CeMEAI) at University of Sao Paulo opens a post-doctoral
research position in Mathematics Teaching and Mathematics Teacher
Training. The selected candidate will work at Institute of
Mathematics, Statistics and Scientific Computation (IMECC) of
University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in Campinas/SP, Brazil. Financial
support will be provided by Sao Paulo Research Foundation
(FAPESP). The position is for one year and the starting date is July
2019. More information is avaliable at www.fapesp.br/bolsas/pd.

Project: Investigating prospective teachers experiences in the
mathematics teacher training degree at UNICAMP
Supervisor: Lucio Tunes dos Santos

Job Description: The lack of teachers in STEM (science, technology,
engineering and mathematics) areas is a worldwide concern and the
scenario is not different in Brazil. Even at the University of
Campinas (UNICAMP), which is among the top universities in the
country, the completion rate in mathematics teaching is below the
average for other degrees and worryingly low considering the relevance
of the profession and the shortage of professionals available. The
main objective of this project is to investigate the experience of
prospective mathematics teachers enrolled in the training degree at
UNICAMP aiming at understanding what are the influences behind the
particularly low completion rate in this degree. The experience of
those involved suggests a few possible issues such as: admission of
students with low prior knowledge in mathematics, challenging
transition to higher education, low attractiveness of the teaching
career and lack of support during higher education. A secondary
objective is to understand the profile of those who choose this career
at UNICAMP, aiming at developing strategies to attract and increase
the interest for such an important career for the development of
Brazilian education. Under the guidance of the teacher Laura Rifo.

Requirements: The position requires a PhD with proven background in
studies in mathematics, mathematics education and teacher training. It
is expected that the candidate will be able to build a relationship
with the participants and work together with the research group. The
candidate must have completed his doctorate in the last 2 years.

Application: Interested candidates should send an e-mail with the
subject "CEPID Postdoc - Mathematics Teaching";
(lucio@ime.unicamp.br), enclosing a cover letter including names and
contact information of two professionals who can recommend it (not
including letters of recommendation) and curriculum. All documents
must be sent in PDF format.

The deadline for sending documents is July 10, 2019.

A two-year postdoctoral research opportunity in validated computation
of special functions is available at the National Institute of
Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, MD through the US National
Research Council (NRC) Associateship Program. Applicants must be US
citizens. The application deadline is August 1, 2019.

NIST's Applied and Computational Mathematics Division (ACMD) is
developing an online system for generating validated tables of special
function values with an error certification computed to user-specified
precision. A typical user might be a researcher or software developer
testing his own code or confirming the accuracy of results obtained
from a commercial or publicly available package. The goal is to create
a standalone system, but also link to and from the NIST Digital
Library of Mathematical Functions (https://dlmf.nist.gov/).

The project, DLMF Standard Reference Tables on Demand (DLMF Tables),
is a collaborative effort with the University of Antwerp Computational
Mathematics Research Group (CMA) led by Annie Cuyt. A beta site based
on CMA's MpIeee, a multiprecision IEEE 754/854 compliant C++ floating
point arithmetic library, is available at
http://dlmftables.uantwerpen.be/ . The successful candidate will
advance our current efforts in the field of validated computing
through the continued research and development of multiple precision
function software providing guaranteed error bounds at arbitrary
precision. The associate will also help expand DLMF Tables into a
full-fledged site, as well as investigate the enhancement of existing
multiprecision libraries for possible inclusion in DLMF Tables.

Before formally applying, candidates should contact
Bonita.Saunders@nist.gov to discuss this appointment. For additional
