One involves a job, so I hope that you are not too bothered at receiving an extra MGNet digest. The other involves a popular code and gets to piggyback on the job posting. As always, I am looking for more material for the next digest, which ought to be sent out about April 30th. This message will be integrated into the last digest on MGNet. ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 27 Mar 1998 21:33:29 -0500 From: Jinchao Xu Subject: Postdoc position at CCMA of Penn State Contingent upon final approval of funding, we will have a postdoc position available from Fall 1998 in the Center for Computational Matheamtics and Applications of Penn State University (http://www.math.psu.edu/ccma/). Applicants must have a strong background in numerical methods for partial differential equations (especially finite element methods) and programming experiences. Good knowledge on multigrid methods is desirable. Interested applicants should send application materials ASAP to Professor Jinchao Xu Department of Mathematics Pennsylvania State University University Park, PA 16802 Email applications (sent to xu@math.psu.edu) are encouraged. Email message may include application materials or a letter indicating an URL address for accessing other detailed application materials. Penn State is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer, and especially encourages applications from women and minorities. ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 6 Apr 1998 13:33:13 -0700 (PDT) From: "Randolph E. Bank" Subject: Pltmg8.0 PLTMG 8.0 is a package for solving elliptic partial differential equations in general regions of the plane. It is based on continuous piecewise linear triangular finite elements, and features adaptive local mesh refinement, multigraph iteration, and pseudo-arclength continuation options for parameter dependencies. The package includes an initial mesh generator and several graphics packages. Full documentation is provided in PLTMG: A Software Package for Solving Elliptic Partial Differential Equations - Users' Guide 8.0 (ISBN 0-89871-409-5), available from SIAM Publications. PLTMG is provided as Fortran (and a little C) source code, in both single and double precision versions. The included X-Windows GUI uses the default Athena Widget set, and makes calls to standard library routines of the X-Windows system, which must be loaded along with the PLTMG software. PLTMG is available from Netlib and MGNet. Editor's Note: The previous version (7.2) is still on MGNet, but will be ------------- deleted eventually. You can find version 8.0 either in www.mgnet.org/mgnet-codes.html or in mgnet/Codes/pltmg. ------------------------------ End of MGNet Digest **************************
