From: Craig Douglas
Subject: 9-11 Slowness
Life has certainly changed quite a bit since 9-11. I did not teach this term,
so I had a lot of plans. Almost all of them changed or were cancelled due to
being stuck somewhere too long.
I know of many conferences that were cancelled, postponed, or moved up. In a
colloquium series at Kentucky, we had many speakers decide they were too
scared to fly through the end of November. I know these experiences are far
from unique.
How has 9-11 affected MGNet? Well, the number of contributions has dropped
dramatically. How can you solve this temporary problem? Contribute something
or influence one of your students or colleagues do so.
December is traditionally a slow month for MGNet. If you have a code on
MGNet, this is a great month to update it.

Announcement for Mathematics Department Chair Position
University of Colorado at Denver
October 11, 2001
The Mathematics Department at the University of Colorado at Denver invites
applications and nominations for the positions of Professor and Chair; the
appointments begin on July 1, 2002. The faculty has 22 full-time members
whose research and teaching cover a wide range of areas: computational and
engineering mathematics; discrete mathematics, finite geometry, and
combinatorics; operations research and optimization; and probability and
statistics. The Department is in the third year of a five-year Center of
Excellence grant from the State, the most generously funded award that the
State confers on academic programs. With B.S., M.S, and Ph.D. programs, the
Department is also a major participant in the Center for Computational
Mathematics and the newly created Center for Computational Biology.
EEO/M/W/D/V. Colorado Open Records Act applies.

From: Dr J C Mandal
Subject: An Improved Multigrid Method for Euler Equations
Title: AN IMPROVED MULTIGRID METHOD FOR EULER EQUATIONS
Authors: Mandal,J.C. and Rajput,H.S.
Published in : Journal of Computational Mechanics, v.23, 5/6,pp.397-403,1999
Abstract: A new full approximation storage multigrid method has been
developed for Euler equations. Instead of the usual approach of using
frozen $\tau$ (the relative truncation error between fine and coarse grid
levels), the relative truncation error is distributed over coarse grids
based on the solution of a set of model equations at every time step. This
allows for more number of sweeps at coarse grid level. As a result, the
present multigrid method is able to accelerate the solution at much faster
rate than the conventional multigrid method. A first order Steger and
Warming flux vector splitting strategy has been used here for solving
Euler equations as well as the model equations for $\tau$. Results are
presented to demonstrate the ability of the present multigrid method.

Methods in Science and Engineering (CMMSE 2002),
Alicante, Spain. September 20 - 25, 2002.
Topics: Celestial Mechanics, Computational Chemistry & Physics,
Computational Engineering, Computational Mathematics,
Computational Statistics, High Performance Computing,
Industrial Mathematics, Mathematical Economics & Finance,
Mathematical Models for the Information Society.
Sponsors: Universidad de Alicante and the Center for Industrial
Mathematics, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Program: The conference aims to act as a unifying, cross-cutting,
interdisciplinary catalyst where specialists can have exposure to
others' fields as well as participate in special sessions at the
forefront of their own specialties. The program consists of 1-hour
plenary lectures that highlight major accomplishments, trends, and
technical challenges in scientific computing in selected fields of
research, special sessions with 25 minute invited talks, and a poster
session.
Call for papers: Researchers are invited to propose special sessions to the
general chairs or submit papers for 25 minute talks or the
poster session.

Current and Future Trends in Numerical PDE's:
Where is the field, and where is it going?
A conference in honor of the 75th Birthday of Professor Jim Douglas, Jr.,
Friday and Saturday, Feb 8-9, 2002
Texas Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics,
The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas, USA
The field of computational PDE's is undergoing several paradigm shifts
due to the advent of powerful computers. The goal of the conference
is to gather different communities working in computational PDEs and
expose participants to some of the main current trends in the field.
This meeting will challenge its participants to confront the many
aspects of the task of approximating the solutions of mathematically
sophisticated models, and it will expose them to some of the tools
developed in the different sub-communities of computational PDE's.
