Subject: Carlos Beltrán and Mark Braverman win the Smale Prize 2014
The Prize is awarded by the Society for the Foundations of
Computational Mathematics to young researchers in recognition of major
achievements in furthering the understanding of the connections
between mathematics and computation, including the interfaces between
pure and applied mathematics, numerical analysis and computer science.
About the Prize winners:
Professor Carlos Beltrán, University of Cantabria, is one of the two
recipients of the Smale Prize 2014 for his brilliant contributions to
fundamental problems in the foundations of computational
mathematics. Beltrán’s work embodies original approaches that combine
the use of complex geometric structure and analytic power to make
important progress on problems which have been the focus of intense
research efforts by others.
Professor Mark Braverman, Princeton University, is one of the two
recipients of the Smale Prize 2014 for his pioneering work on the
foundations of computational mathematics. Braverman has made
fundamental contributions to our understanding of computability and
complexity questions involving both continuous and discrete systems.

The award will be made on December 13, 2014, at the Montevideo FoCM’14
conference, https://www.fing.edu.uy/eventos/focm2014/

Subject: FELICITY: Finite ELement Implementation ...
FELICITY: Finite ELement Implementation and Computational
Interface Tool for You
It is a combination MATLAB/C++ toolbox for writing finite element
codes in 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D. It uses code generation to create special
purpose matrix assembly routines for a particular problem that you
define. Bilinear and Linear forms are defined via a
domain-specific-language (DSL). Furthermore, the spatial domains can
be curves or surfaces embedded in 3-D, and one can define finite
element spaces on sub-domains of co-dimension > 0.
You can download the package here:
http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/31141-felicity
In addition to the manual in pdf format (in the zip file), more
information and tutorials can be found on the Google-Code page:
http://code.google.com/p/felicity-finite-element-toolbox/
Requirements to use FELICITY:
- MATLAB Version 2010 or higher
(lower versions may work, but have not been tested.)
- MATLAB Symbolic Toolbox (this is the only toolbox you need.)
- A C++ compiler that is compatible with MATLAB's "mex" function.

Subject: Postdoc Position, High-order Methods for Future Architectures
The Center for Applied Scientific Computing (CASC) has an opening for
a postdoctoral researcher to perform research in performance modeling,
analysis and optimization of high-order algorithms, with an emphasis
on suitability to future compute architectures. Specific research
opportunities exist for cross-architecture explorations, algorithm
performance predictions on future machines and performance versus
accuracy tradeoffs. The individual will work and interact with other
members of a multi-disciplinary research team to build a multi-physics
simulation code based on higher-order finite element methods, and
designed to run efficiently on a variety of advanced architectures.
Will report to the Computer Science Group Leader within CASC.

Workshop - Stochastic and Multiscale Problems, 1-2 September 2014,
Mathematical Institute, Oxford University.
The aim of this two-day workshop is to bring together mathematicians,
biologists and researchers from other disciplines whose work involves
stochastic and multiscale phenomenon, to identify common methodologies
to studying such systems, both from a numerical and analytical
perspective. Relevant topics include asymptotic methods for PDEs;
multiscale analysis of stochastic dynamical systems; mean-field limits
of collective dynamics. Numerical methods, mathematical theory and
applications (with a specific focus on biology) will all be discussed.
The workshop will take place on the 1st and 2nd of September, at the
Mathematical Institute, Oxford University. Please visit
