ANNOUNCEMENTS Department-wide… NAME CHANGE FOR CoE MAIL SERVER CERTIFICATE. The name of the certificate used by Engineering's mail server has changed from engr.orst.edu to mail.engr.oregonstate.edu. Anyone using Engineering for email will need to change the name of their IMAP (incoming) and possibly SMTP (outgoing) servers to mail.engr.oregonstate.edu. Please refer to the following pages for instructions on setting up Engineering IMAP and SMTP AUTH. http://engr.oregonstate.edu/computing/email/86 http://engr.oregonstate.edu/computing/email/139 Grad Students/Faculty/Staff… FALL COURSE OF POSSIBLE INTEREST TO ME/IME STUDENTS: Math 654, Numerical Analysis. 9:00-9:50 MWF, Gilkey 104, instructor Robert Higdon, higdon@math.oregonstate.edu, 737-5150. This course is concerned with pseudospectral methods for the numerical solution of partial differential equations. These methods give highly accurate solutions for problems involving simple spatial domains and smooth data. Fourier analysis will be used extensively, and the course provides an introduction to that topic from a computational point of view. The text for the course is Spectral Methods in Matlab, by L. N. Trefethen. The content of the course is largely self-contained. For general pre-requisites, students should have some familiarity with partial differential equations and numerical analysis. Course requirements include some homework assignments, which will consist of a mixture of analytical work and numerical computations. This course is the first in a year-long sequence, and the courses in this sequence can be taken independently. The topics and instructors for the remaining terms are the following. Math 655, winter 2007: Nonlinear systems of equations, multigrid methods, numerical optimization, introduction to scientific and parallel computing (Malgo Peszynska). Math 656, spring 2007: Image reconstruction and processing (Adel Faridani). Note: The topic covered in 654 this year is different from the one covered in 654 last year. Students who have already taken 654 with a different topic can register for Math 659, Topics in Numerical Analysis. The course requirements for 654 and 659 will be the same. CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR § Description of activity with preliminary budget estimate of costs broken out as labor, travel and other major cost categories § Explanation of the expected benefits to the directorate and the laboratory § Approval by immediate manager and director § Estimate of start and end dates § If cost sharing is available, include the amount or percentage of the total costs that your organization will provide and the amount or percentage requested from FSEP. (Cost sharing is preferred but not required.) Proposals will be accepted throughout the fiscal year and should be received six to eight weeks prior to the desired activity. A review committee composed of members of the Science and Technology Council, Center for Advanced Energy Studies, and ETRP will consider all proposals. Funding will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Preferential consideration will be given to collaborations with any Idaho University Consortium and National University Consortium partners.
