Abstract:
Higher transcendental functions continue to play varied and important
roles in investigations by engineers, mathematicians, scientists and
statisticians. The purpose of this paper is to assist in locating useful
approximations and software for the numerical generation of these
functions, and to offer some suggestions for future developments in this
field.

collections of special functions)
4. Functions of one variable
5. Functions of two or more variables
(In sections 4 and 5 the functions are treated individually.

Subject: Global Minimization of Nonconvex Energy Functions
DIMACS Workshop on
Global Minimization of Nonconvex Energy Functions:
Molecular Conformation and Protein Folding
Organizers: P.M. Pardalos, D. Shalloway and G. Xue
This workshop will be held on March 20-21, 1995, at DIMACS (Center for
Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science at Rutgers University).
This workshop is part of the DIMACS special year 1994-1995: Mathematical
Support for Molecular Biology.
One of the most significant and challenging problems in molecular
biophysics and biochemistry is that of computing the native 3-dimensional
conformation (folded state) of a globular protein given its amino
acid sequence, possibly in the presence of additional agents (e.g., drugs).
The solution will probably require the use of experimental or knowledge-based
methods to provide initial guesses for subsequent numerical refinement.
The numerical methods require: (a) determination of suitable
energy functions that can reliably model protein behaviour and (b) optimization
methods that can find global minima of energy functions given
the many degrees of freedom available to protein structures.
At present significant progress in identifying appropriate energy functions
has been made; the primary impediment is the lack of adequate global
minimization methods for these large-dimensionality problems.
This workshop will focus on this and related problems through an
interdisciplinary effort that is represented from computational groups in
global optimization, computer science and biochemistry.
The workshop will feature a keynote address by distinguished speaker,
Dr. H.A. Hauptman, 1985 Nobel Prize Laureate in Chemistry.
Additional information on travel and local accommodations will be
provided at a later date. More information on the workshop can be
obtained from the organizers:
P.M. Pardalos (University of Florida, pardalos@ufl.edu)
D. Shalloway (Cornell University, DISJ@CORNELLA.cit.cornell.edu)
G. Xue (University of Vermont, xue@uvm-gen.emba.uvm.edu)
or from Pat Toci (toci@dimacs.rutgers.edu) at DIMACS.
The workshop is sponsored by DIMACS with funds from National Science Foundation
and The New Jersey Commission on Science and Technology.

Subject: Dynamics of Discontinuous Systems
First Announcement
THE MATHEMATICS OF IMPACT:
The dynamics of discontinuous systems
Monday 26th September 1994
Departments of Mathematics and Engineering Mathematics
Bristol University
U.K.
This meeting will focus on recent mathematical developments in the
dynamics of systems with discontinuities. Such systems arise in
many mechanical situations, in studies of the effects of
earthquake on buildings and structures, in the analysis of
offshore structures, and many other real engineering scenarios.
The current models have highly complex solution structure
and possess new kinds of bifurcations which require careful
numerical computation. One important issue is whether such
behaviour persists when more realistic/empirical impact laws
are used. A panel discussion will be included,
to examine the relationship between impact dynamics and wear.
There will be plenty of time for informal interactions.
A small registration fee will be charged to cover catering costs.

SENIOR LECTURESHIP/LECTURESHIP IN MATHEMATICS
Applications are invited for a Senior Lectureship/Lectureship in Industrial
Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics.
For the Senior Lectureship strong preference will be given to candidates
with either industrial experience or a substantial research record in
Industrial Mathematics, with a demonstrable ability to attract funding.
It is expected that the new appointee will be energetic and self-motivating.
Should no such suitable candidate emerge then an appointment will be made
to a lectureship. In this case the preference is either for a candidate
with an industrial background or some experience in industrial problem solving.
Salary: up to #29,788 per annum.
The Department of Mathematics has recently made six academic appointments
in industrial mathematics, numerical analysis, continuum mechanics and
nonlinear analysis, and one academic-related appointment of Computer Officer.
For application form and further particulars (Ref 48/94) contact the
Personnel Office, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, G1 1XQ.

Date: Tue, 10 May 94 18:52:21 PDT
Subject: Position at Intel Santa Clara
Job Opening: Intel Corporation (Santa Clara)
Numerical Analyst (Technology CAD department)
Qualifications:
Candidate should have a PhD in Computer Science or related disciplines, with a
thorough knowledge of numerical analysis. A PhD in EE, Physics, or related
discipline is acceptable if the candidate's numerical analysis background is
exceptionally strong. Extensive experience in numerical solution of partial
differential equations is a requirement, as is experience with large numerical
codes. Familiarity with modern programming techniques and languages (such as C,
C++, and object oriented programming) is a plus. Good communication skills are
also required.
Duties:
As an engineer in the Technology CAD group, he/she will help solve
numerical problems in the group's process and device simulation tools. The
range of problems includes solution of non-linear systems, adaptive grid
generation, and development of parallel algorithms. This person will develop
codes, as well as help others solve their problems, so close interaction
with other developers in the TCAD department is necessary. In addition to the
strictly numerical duties, he/she will be responsible for creating new
applications to be used in development of Intel's next generation technologies.
