The twenty-fifty AMS-SIAM Summer Seminar in Applied Mathematics will be held July 17-- August 11, 1995 at the Prospector Square Inn and Conference Center, Park City, Utah. The seminar will be sponsored by the American Mathemtaical Society, the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, and the International Mathematical Union. It is anticipated that the seminar will be partially supported by grants from federal agencies. The proceedings will be published by the AMS in the "Lectures in Applied Mathematics" series.
It is hoped that the conference will give the subject of numerical
analysis a greater coherence through a focus on the mathematical side.
In particular, to aim to strengthen the unity of mathematics and
numerical analysis, and to narrow the gap between pure and applied
mathematics. That goal is appropriate since many of the heroes of
pure and applied mathematics, Newton, Euler, Lagrange, and Gauss among
them, established the basic real number algorithms. With the
revolution of the computer and the great achievements of scientific
computation, it does service to both the pure and applied communities
to support the mathematical development of numerical analysis.
This is an appropriate time to schedule such a meeting in view of the
rapid development of heuristic work, a good base of theoretical work,
and a widespread desire for mathematical deepening of the subject.
The conference will be international in character with strong
representation from the most mathematically developed parts of
numerical analysis. Besides tutorials and short courses, seminars in
the following areas are contemplated: linear algebra, nonlinear
systems-path following, differential equations, linear programming
problems, algebraic questions, foundations, information based
complexity, lower bounds, and approximation theory.
