The summer and annual meetings are joint meetings of the Mathematical Association of America and the American Mathematical Society. The meeting dates which fall rather far in the future are subject to change: this is particularly true of meetings to which no numbers have yet been assigned. Programs of the meetings will appear in the issues indicated below. First and supplementary announcements of the meetings will have appeared in earlier issues. ABSTRACTS OF PAPERS presented at a meeting of the Society are published in the journal Abstracts of papers presented to the American Mathematical Society in the issue corresponding to that of the Notices which contains the program of the meeting. Abstracts should be submitted on special forms which are available in many departments of mathematics and from the office of the Society. Abstracts must be accompanied by the $15 processing charge. Abstracts of papers to be presented at the meeting must be received at the headquarters of the Society in Providence. Rhode Island. on or before the deadline given below for the meeting. Note that the deadline for abstracts for consideration for presentation at special sessions is usually three weeks earlier than that specified below.

Suscribers' changes of address should be reported well in advance to avoid disruption of service: address labels are prepared four to six weeks in advance of the date of mailing. Requests for a change of address should always include the member or subscriber code and preferably a copy of the entire mailing label. Members are reminded that U. S. Postal Service change-of-address forms are not adequate for this purpose. since they make no provision for several important items of information which are essential for the AMS records. Suitable forms are published from time to time in the Notices of the American Mathematical Society (e.g. October 1984. page 728}. Send change of address notices to the Society at Post Office Box 6248. Providence. Rl 02940. (Notices of the American Mathematical Society is published seven times a year (January. March. June. August. October. November, December) by the American Mathematical Society at 201 Charles Street. Providence. Rl 02904. Second class postage paid at Providence. Rl and additional mailing offices. POSTMASTER: Send address change notices to Membership and Sales Department. American Mathematical Society, P. 0. Box 6248, Providence. Rl 02940.) Publication here of the Society's street address. and the other information in brackets above. is a technical requirement of the U. S. Postal Service. All correspondence should be mailed to the Post Office Box. NOT the street address. Members are strongly urged to notify the Society themselves of address changes. since reliance on the postal service change-of-address forms is liable to cause delays in processing such requests in the AMS office.

The editors of the series now seek to publish scholarly and research monographs as well as surveys of particular fields and are seriously searching for appropriate manuscripts and advanced-level graduate texts. The AMS currently pays royalties to authors on this series of 15% of the LIST PRICE of the book (with division of that amount among multiple authors), even if the book is sold at a discount. Each author is entitled to six free copies of the book. Books are heavily promoted by direct mail, in space advertising in the NOTICES and other journals, and at exhibits at AMS meetings and those of other organizations. In keeping with the longstanding AMS policy, all volumes are kept in print permanently. In addition, AMS books are printed on acid-free paper. Prospective authors for the Mathematical Surveys and Monographs Series are invited to communicate with one of the members of the Mathematical Surveys Editorial Committee: R. 0.

    Antony Jameson Professor (Research), Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Stanford University Stanford, California For exceptional contributions to algorithmic innovation and the development of computational fluid dynamic codes that have made important contributions to aircraft design. The author of 444 scientific papers, Antony Jameson has made major contributions to many fields of aerospace science and technology, especially to the areas of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), control theory, and aerodynamics. In the words of the International Journal of CFD (November 2005): “Antony Jameson has had a huge impact on the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics for over four decades, opening up new avenues of research and developing tools to solve problems once thought beyond reach. From the formulation of a problem, to the development of the numerical technology to solve it, to the implementation of that technology in efficient tools and the fluid dynamical interpretation of results, Jameson has impacted most aspects of CFD.” Jameson is also credited with major breaKthroughs in the area of aerodynamic shape optimization, showing how CFD and control theory can be combined to allow designers to calculate optimum wing shapes which minimize drag and maximize performance. Jameson incorporated his numerical algorithms in two series of CFD codes: “FLO” (for flow analysis) and “SYN,” (for aerodynamic design) and both have played critical roles in developing some of the world’s most well-Known jetliners, including Airbus’ 320 and 330, as well as Boeing’s 737-500, 737-700, 747-400, and the 777. His work has advanced the state of CFD, with some noting that “many of the advances were propelled by the understanding, the algorithm technology, and the codes that were created by Jameson.” Aircraft manufacturers have universally used his codes for their CFD needs.

  • ESA Strategy for Science at the Moon
    ESA UNCLASSIFIED - Releasable to the Public ESA Strategy for Science at the Moon ESA UNCLASSIFIED - Releasable to the Public EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A new era of space exploration is beginning, with multiple international and private sector actors engaged and with the Moon as its cornerstone. This renaissance in lunar exploration will offer new opportunities for science across a multitude of disciplines from planetary geology to astronomy and astrobiology whilst preparing the knowledge humanity will need to explore further into the Solar System. Recent missions and new analyses of samples retrieved during Apollo have transformed our understanding of the Moon and the science that can be performed there. We now understand the scientific importance of further exploration of the Moon to understand the origins and evolution of Earth and the cosmic context of life’s emergence on Earth and our future in space. ESA’s priorities for scientific activities at the Moon in the next ten years are: • Analysis of new and diverse samples from the Moon. • Detection and characterisation of polar water ice and other lunar volatiles. • Deployment of geophysical instruments and the build up a global geophysical network. • Identification and characterisation of potential resources for future exploration. • Deployment long wavelength radio astronomy receivers on the lunar far side. • Characterisation of the dynamic dust, charge and plasma environment. • Characterisation of biological sensitivity to the lunar environment.

  • A Time-Stepping Method for Stiff Multibody Dynamics with Contact
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR NUMERICAL METHODS IN ENGINEERING Int. J. Numer. Meth. Engng 2002; 55:753–784 (DOI: 10.1002/nme.512) A time-stepping method for sti multibody dynamics with contact and friction‡ Mihai Anitescu1;∗;† and Florian A. Potra2 1Department of Mathematics; University of Pittsburgh; Thackeray 301; Pittsburgh; PA 15213; U.S.A. 2Department of Mathematics; University of Maryland; Baltimore County; Baltimore; MD 21250; U.S.A. SUMMARY We dene a time-stepping procedure to integrate the equations of motion of sti multibody dynamics with contact and friction. The friction and non-interpenetration constraints are modelled by complemen- tarity equations. Stiness is accommodated by a technique motivated by a linearly implicit Euler method. We show that the main subproblem, a linear complementarity problem, is consistent for a suciently small time step h. In addition, we prove that for the most common type of sti forces encountered in rigid body dynamics, where a damping or elastic force is applied between two points of the system, the method is well dened for any time step h. We show that the method is stable in the sti limit, unconditionally with respect to the damping parameters, near the equilibrium points of the springs. The integration step approaches, in the sti limit, the integration step for a system where the sti forces have been replaced by corresponding joint constraints. Simulations for one- and two-dimensional examples demonstrate the stable behaviour of the method. Published in 2002 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. KEY WORDS: multibody dynamics; rigid bodies; Coulomb friction; sti methods; linear complemen- tarity problems; linearly implicitly integration 1.

  • Short Cross-Disciplinary Cycles in Co-Authorship Graphs
    How small is the center of science? Short cross-disciplinary cycles in co-authorship graphs Chris Fields 528 Zinnia Court Sonoma, CA 95476 USA fi[email protected] October 17, 2014 Abstract Cycles that cross two or more boundaries between disciplines in the co-authorship graph for all of science are used to set upper limits on the number of co-authored pa- pers required to cross 15 disciplines or subdisciplines ranging from macroeconomics to neurology. The upper limits obtained range from one (discrete mathematics, macroe- conomics and nuclear physics) to six (neuroscience). The 15 disciplines or subdis- ciplines examined form a “small world” with an average separation of only 2.0 co- authorship links. It is conjectured that the high-productivity, high average degree centers of all scientific disciplines form a small world, and therefore that the diameter of the co-authorship graph of all of science is only slightly larger than the average diameter of the co-authorship graphs of its subdisciplines. Keywords: Cross-displinary brokers; Field mobility; Graph centrality; Graph diameter; Nobel laureates; Preferential attachment; Small-world networks 1 Introduction Numerous studies have now confirmed the finding of Newman (2001, 2004) that the co- authorship graphs of many scientific disciplines can be characterized as “small worlds” comprising many dense clusters of researchers separated by relatively short (mean length 1 l ≤ 10) minimum paths (reviewed by Mali, Kronegger, Doreian and Ferligoj, 2012). Despite over two decades of efforts to make the world of science as a whole more interconnected by encouraging inter-, multi- or trans-disciplinary collaborations, however, the research enterprise remains organized into disciplines (Jacobs and Frickel, 2009).
