In the NA-Net helpfile are the addresses of NA-Net given in RFC832-Form.
Unfortunately some people have to use X.400 addresses that are not given in

From Germany I used the following address

I even don't know, if for all countries one valid X.400 address can be

I'm hoping you can direct me to current methods for implementing sin, cos,
sqrt, etc. on systems that use IEEE754.
So far, I'm almost into the '80s with regard to checking references
(e.g. - Cody and Wait, and Hart), so I'm assuming there are much
better (i.e. - faster) methods.
Thank you.
Please reply via email, and thanks in advance.

Subject: Mathematical Circus at ENS-LYON, France
LAST ANNOUNCEMENT
MATHEMATICAL CIRCUS
Location: Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon, France
Dates: February 4-5 1993
" MATHEMATICAL PROBLEMS IN IMAGE PROCESSING "
The "RENCONTRES MATHEMATIQUES", Mathematical Circus, is an informal
meeting of mathematicians to gather around a principal speaker and a
leading subject. It always takes place at ENSL, about every month. The
previous ones were about homogeneisation theory, bifurcation theory,
kinetics equations, mathematical problems of combustion ...
This time the leading speaker is P.-L. LIONS, University of Paris IX-Dauphine.
He will give two or three talks covering various aspects of
mathematical modelling, nonlinear partial differential equations
and their viscous solutions, geometrical interpretation,
and finally numerical approximation of these models.
He will be surrounded by:
G. BARLES: University of Tours, France
O. FAUGERAS: INRIA, Sophia-Antipolis, France
J.M. MOREL: University of Paris IX-Dauphine, France
The circus is unique in that it is VERY informal, and thus allows
us to talk about the very latest results as well as interesting work
in progress. In our previous meetings there has been lots of informal
discussion and a very healthy mix of industrial and academic participants.
GRADUATE STUDENTS ARE WELCOME !
We have arranged special conference train fares with SNCF. Ask just
for a "Congress Ticket".
A restricted number of uncharged rooms are at our disposal on Campus.
There is also some hotels a few minutes' ride from ENSL campus.
To register, please send e-mail to Claudine Schmidt-Laine at the
adress below. As usual, there is no registration fee.
The circus will begin on Thursday morning and will end on Friday noon.

The George Mason University of the Commonwealth of Virginia is seeking
candidates for the position of Director of the Institute of
Computational Sciences and Informatics (CSI). The Director, who reports
to the Provost, is responsible for leadership of the Institute and
fulfillment of its research, educational and outreach mission.
The Institute's mission includes the development of new approaches to
scientific research based on rapidly developing computational
methodology, across a broad range of disciplines such as computational
physics, mathematics and statistics, space sciences, environmental
sciences, global change, the interface of computation and biological
science, including bio-informatics, and others. Research in the institute
is organized both through multi-disciplinary teams and through disciplinary
centers in some of the fields. The Institute is developing and implementing
a new Ph.D. program in Computational Science with current enrollment of 68
students and with an anticipated steady enrollment of 150 students.
Institute's current computational facilities include a network of workstations,

Subject: Graduate Program at George Washington University
Dear Colleague:
I am writing to you on behalf of our Department to ask for your
assistance in reaching potential graduate students. The information
below gives a brief description of our Graduate Program, to which I
would like to add a few words.
Although our Department is small it provides many of the amenities
of a larger department. We offer a full range of graduate courses
leading to the Master's and Ph.D. degrees in pure and applied
mathematics. Our faculty's research interests are varied, providing
a good choice of dissertation topics. We have a state of the art
Sun computer network, a first class mathematics collection in the
University library, and a stimulating series of colloquia and
seminars.
Students who pursue graduate work in our department will find an
environment which offers the kind of individual attention not often
found in larger departments. Each entering student is assigned a
faculty member to serve as mentor during the first few years
preceding the selection of a dissertation advisor. The mentor and
the student meet on a regular basis to discuss the student's
experiences and progress in the program.
Our graduate program has a long history of producing Ph.D. and
Master's graduates who have gone on to successful careers.
Recently, the University has awarded us additional Graduate
Teaching Assistantships, which will effectively double the size of
our graduate program. We are now actively seeking good students to
fill these new positions. The Teaching Assistantship package
includes full tuition credits, a stipend, and additional support in
exchange for certain teaching duties, including teaching
recitations and working in our `Math Lab'. Interested graduate
students often have the opportunity to teach summer school.
We hope that you will mention our graduate program to promising
students who are considering graduate work in mathematics. The
next application deadline is February 15, 1993. Please call or
write to us if we can answer any questions about graduate study at
The George Washington University. Should you or your students have
the opportunity to visit our Department, we would be delighted to
welcome you.
Sincerely yours,
Murli M. Gupta

Excerpts from our brochure:
Programs of Study:
The Department of Mathematics offers programs of advanced study and
research leading to the degrees of Master of Arts, Master of Science
and Doctor of Philosophy.
Research Facilities:
The George Washington University Library collection, which includes
over 200 mathematics-related journals, is excellent for advanced
study and research. Other mathematical research libraries in the area
are also available to students.
Students have access to the Department's computing system consisting
of 3 Sun SPARCstation 1+ machines, PC's linked to the Suns, and state
of the art mathematical research software. Access to computer systems
outside the Department is available via edunet. The University has a
modern computing center, including classrooms equipped with
microcomputers.
The Area:
The University is located in the District of Columbia, four blocks
west of the White House. Its proximity to numerous research
laboratories, government agencies, and national museums offers
students a variety of educational, professional, and cultural
opportunities.
Financial Aid:
Graduate study in mathematics is supported by teaching assistantships
and University fellowships. Applicants interested in financial aid are
encouraged to apply early. For interested mathematics graduate
students, the research laboratories and companies located in the
Washington metropolitan area offer excellent job opportunities.
