Subject: Beresford Parlett
Emeritus Professor Beresford Parlett of the University of California at Berkeley
passed on February 7, 2026. He graduated from Oxford University and briefly
worked in his father's lumber import firm before undertaking graduate studies
at Stanford University under George Forsythe. His first and only employment
was at Cal where he began in the nascent computer science department(s).
Beresford was the personal link to the historical development of eigenvalue
calculations. Although he will always be remembered for his book entitled The
Symmetric Eigenvalue Problem, Beresford teased that it started as the
unsymmetric problem, but that manuscript was unfortunately lost in the
Oakland-Berkeley fire. He was a lively conversationalist who loved hiking in the
California outdoors.

Scientific Computing in Modern C++ by Victor Eijkhout
If you are an aspiring computer programmer with a basic knowledge of C++ and
want to deepen your understanding of the language, specifically for use in
scientific computing, this unique book is for you. It is the only book to discuss
modern C++ from a scientific computing perspective, covering a wide range of
topics, including the finer points of C++, specific idioms of C++ in scientific
computing, parallelism, considerations of hardware and performance, and
“carpentry” topics, such as CMake, that extend beyond basic programming to
make you a more productive programmer.
This book focuses on computing “idioms” and applications—rather than a
complete treatment of the C++ language—as well as peripheral “carpentry”
topics, and is designed to take students to a level where they can be
productive in a scientific programming project. The C++ topics discussed are
chosen for their relevance to computing, and other topics are purposely
excluded. Additionally, several topics relevant to scientific computing are
included that are not intimately tied to C++ as a language.

Subject: 5th IMA Conference on Inverse Problems from Theory to Application, 8-10 September 2026
8 –10 September 2026,
Woburn House, Tavistock Square, London WC1H 9HQ
https://ima.org.uk/28046/5th-ima-conference-on-inverse-problems-from-
theory-to-application/
Inverse problems remain at the heart of scientific discovery and technological
innovation, spanning fields as diverse as medical and satellite imaging, biology,
astronomy, geophysics, environmental sciences, computer vision, energy,
finance, and defence. Fundamentally, these problems involve using a
mathematical or physical model "backwards" to infer a quantity of interest from
the observed effects it produces.
A main challenge resulting from using models "backwards" is that solutions are
often not well posed, i.e., not unique or unstable with respect to small
perturbations in the data. This difficulty continues to stimulate research and
innovation at the interface of applied mathematics, statistics, engineering, and
physics, leading to social and economic benefit through impact on science,
medicine, and engineering.
The aim of this conference is to bring together mathematicians, statisticians,
and computer scientists working on the theoretical and numerical aspects of
inverse problems, alongside engineers and physicists, tackling challenging
applications. We will discuss recent developments and open challenges in
theory, methodology, and computational algorithms.
Joint Event: Big Data Day
This year, the conference features a dedicated Big Data Day, held in
conjunction with the IMA Conference on the Mathematical Challenges of Big
Data.
This joint session reflects the growing intersection between classical model-
based theory and modern data-driven approaches. With the rise of deep
learning, generative models, and neural operators, the boundary between
Inverse Problems and Data Science has become increasingly blurred. This day
will explore the synergy between these fields, examining how techniques from
network science, information theory, and large-scale optimisation can be
leveraged to address ill-posedness, and conversely, how inverse problem
theory can inform the foundations of data science.
We welcome industrial representatives, doctoral students, early career
researchers, and established academics to attend and contribute.
Topics of Interest
• Machine Learning & Data-Driven Methods: Deep learning for inverse
problems, learned regularisation, neural operators, unrolled networks.
• Big Data, Statistics & Optimisation: Large-scale inverse problems, Bayesian
inference, uncertainty quantification, data assimilation, stochastic algorithms.
• Mathematical Theory: Analysis of inverse problems, stability, uniqueness,
and regularisation theory.
• Imaging & Applications: Mathematical and computational imaging,
tomography, and wider applications in science, medicine, and engineering.
