Subject: New Book, An Introduction to Compressed Sensing


Compressed sensing is a relatively recent area of research that has
applications to signal/image processing and computer algorithms, and
it draws from a variety of mathematical techniques such as graph
theory, probability theory, linear algebra, and optimization. The
author presents significant concepts never before discussed as well as
new advances in the theory, providing an in-depth initiation to the
field of compressed sensing. The text contains substantial material on
graph theory and the design of binary measurement matrices, is the
only book to thoroughly study the problem of matrix recovery, and
supplies relevant results alongside their proofs in a compact and
streamlined presentation that is easy to navigate.

Subject: New Book, Approximation Theory and Approximation Practice, Extended Edition


This is a textbook on classical polynomial and rational approximation
theory for the twenty-first century. Aimed at advanced undergraduates
and graduate students across all of applied mathematics, it uses
MATLAB to teach the field's most important ideas and results. It
differs fundamentally from other works on the topic in that its
emphasis is on topics close to numerical algorithms; concepts are
illustrated with Chebfun; and each chapter is a PUBLISHable MATLAB
M-file, available online.

Subject: New Book, Spectral Methods Using Multivariate Polynomials on the Unit Ball


Spectral Methods Using Multivariate Polynomials on the Unit Ball
Kendall Atkinson, David Chien, Olaf Hansen
Chapman & Hall/CRC Press, 2019

This book is a research level text on a numerical method for the
solution of partial differential equations. The authors introduce,
illustrate with examples, and analyze 'spectral methods' that are
based on multivariate polynomial approximations. The method presented
is an alternative to finite element and difference methods for regions
that are diffeomorphic to the unit disk, in two dimensions, and the
unit ball, in three dimensions.

7th IMA Conference on Numerical Linear Algebra and Optimization
24-26 June 2020, Birmingham
https://ima.org.uk/12530/7th-ima-conference-on-numerical-linear-algebra-and-
optimization/

The IMA is pleased to announce the Seventh Biennial IMA Conference on
Numerical Linear Algebra and Optimization. The success of modern
codes for large-scale optimization is heavily dependent on the use of
effective tools of numerical linear algebra. On the other hand, many
problems in numerical linear algebra lead to linear, nonlinear or
semidefinite optimization problems. The purpose of the conference is
to bring together researchers from both communities and to find and
communicate points and topics of common interest. This Conference has
been organised in cooperation with the Society for Industrial and
Applied Mathematics (SIAM).

Conference topics include any subject that could be of interest to
both communities, such as: Direct and iterative methods for large
sparse linear systems. Eigenvalue computation and optimization.
Large-scale nonlinear and semidefinite programming. Effect of
round-off errors, stopping criteria, embedded iterative procedures.
Optimization issues for matrix polynomials Fast matrix computations.
Compressed/sparse sensing PDE-constrained optimization Distributed
computing and optimization Applications and real time optimization

Invited speakers: Frank E. Curtis (Lehigh University); Moritz Diehl
(University of Freiburg); Zlatko Drmac (University of Zagreb); Melina
Freitag (University of Bath); David Silvester (University of Manchester)

Energy Geosciences Division has an exciting opportunity for an
Environmental Data Science Postdoctoral Fellow to investigate the
impacts of streamflow disturbances, such as floods or droughts, on
water quality in different river corridors of the United States. In
this role, you will be responsible for integrating large temporal and
spatial datasets, conducting analysis using statistical, wavelet,
pattern recognition techniques, and implementing predictive
machine-learning models. What You Will Do: Develop and implement
algorithms and data processing methods for repeatable integration and
QA/QC of diverse temporal and spatial datasets of river discharge,
water quality, watershed characteristics obtained from several federal
sources including the DOE, USGS, NOAA, USDA, EPA. Analyze data and
extract patterns using statistical, wavelet, classification, or other
data mining methods. Research and develop machine learning approaches
for data-driven modeling of water quality. We are seeking candidates
with a strong background in Earth science informatics, computational,
or data sciences, with demonstrated experience in data analysis and
data-driven modeling. For full description and to apply please visit:

Position 2: Postdoc for ESS-DIVE Data Repository Berkeley Lab's Earth
and Environmental Sciences Area (EESA) has an opening for a
Postdoctoral Fellow to join the Environmental Systems Science Data
Infrastructure for a Virtual Ecosystem (ESS-DIVE) project. ESS-DIVE
is a DOE data repository that stores diverse datasets from terrestrial
and subsurface ecosystem research projects. The postdoc will join the
ESS-DIVE research and development team working on community
engagement, data standards and building tools for data use. What You
Will Do: Research and provide recommendations on community standards
for environmental data. Work with the community to adopt existing
standards or define new standards as needed. Build file parsers,
quality checkers and other tools to enable advanced search,
integration and visualization of data submitted in standardized
formats. Collaborate extensively with the DOE Environmental Systems
Science (ESS) research community. We are seeking candidates with
prior experience in data synthesis or analysis, and strong
communication skills. For full description and to apply please visit:
