Vorticity and Incompressible Flow - Andrew J
Cambridge University Press 0521630576 - Vorticity and Incompressible Flow - Andrew J. Majda and Andrea L. Bertozzi Frontmatter More information Vorticity and Incompressible Flow This book is a comprehensive introduction to the mathematical theory of vorticity and incompressible flow ranging from elementary introductory material to current research topics. Although the contents center on mathematical theory, many parts of the book showcase the interactions among rigorous mathematical theory, numerical, asymptotic, and qualitative simplified modeling, and physical phenomena. The first half forms an introductory graduate course on vorticity and incompressible flow. The second half comprises a modern applied mathematics graduate course on the weak solution theory for incompressible flow. Andrew J. Majda is the Samuel Morse Professor of Arts and Sciences at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences of New York University. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and has received numerous honors and awards includ- ing the National Academy of Science Prize in Applied Mathematics, the John von Neumann Prize of the American Mathematical Society and an honorary Ph.D. degree from Purdue University. Majda is well known for both his theoretical contributions to partial differential equations and his applied contributions to diverse areas besides in- compressible flow such as scattering theory, shock waves, combustion, vortex motion and turbulent diffusion. His current applied research interests are centered around Atmosphere/Ocean science. Andrea L. Bertozzi is Professor of Mathematics and Physics at Duke University. She has received several honors including a Sloan Research Fellowship (1995) and the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). Her research accomplishments in addition to incompressible flow include both theoretical and applied contributions to the understanding of thin liquid films and moving contact lines. -
From the Editor
Department of Mathematics University of Wisconsin From the Editor. This year’s biggest news is the awarding of the National Medal of Science to Carl de Boor, professor emeritus of mathematics and computer science. Accompanied by his family, Professor de Boor received the medal at a White House ceremony on March 14, 2005. Carl was one of 14 new National Medal of Science Lau- reates, the only one in the category of mathematics. The award, administered by the National Science Foundation originated with the 1959 Congress. It honors individuals for pioneering research that has led to a better under- standing of the world, as well as to innovations and tech- nologies that give the USA a global economic edge. Carl is an authority on the theory and application of splines, which play a central role in, among others, computer- aided design and manufacturing, applications of com- puter graphics, and signal and image processing. The new dean of the College of Letters and Science, Gary Sandefur, said “Carl de Boor’s selection for the na- tion’s highest scientific award reflects the significance of his work and the tradition of excellence among our mathematics and computer science faculty.” We in the Department of Mathematics are extremely proud of Carl de Boor. Carl retired from the University in 2003 as Steen- bock Professor of Mathematical Sciences and now lives in Washington State, although he keeps a small condo- minium in Madison. Last year’s newsletter contains in- Carl de Boor formation about Carl’s distinguished career and a 65th birthday conference held in his honor in Germany. -

2015 ICIAM Lagrange Prize Awarded to Andrew Majda
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE International Council for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM) Contact: Barbara Keyfitz [email protected] 614-292-5583 Monday, September 15, 2014 2015 ICIAM Lagrange Prize awarded to Andrew Majda Philadelphia, PA— The International Council for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM) is pleased to announce Andrew J. Majda of the Courant Institute at New York University as the recipient of the 2015 ICIAM Lagrange Prize in recognition of his ground breaking, original, fundamental and pioneering contributions to applied mathematics and, in particular, to wave front propagation and combustion, scattering theory, fluid dynamics and atmosphere climate science. His research, which has merged asymptotic and numerical methods, physical reasoning and modeling, and rigorous mathematical analysis, has had an enormous and long lasting impact on modern applied mathematics, science and engineering (geophysics, seismology, weather prediction, combustion, and more) and remains the state of the art today. Andrew J. Majda is the Morse Professor of Arts and Sciences at the Courant Institute of New York University. The Lagrange Prize was established to provide international recognition to individual mathematicians who have made an exceptional contribution to applied mathematics throughout their careers. It was created on the initiative of SMAI (Société de Mathématiques Appliquées et Industrielles), SEMA (Sociedad Española de Matematica Aplicada) and SIMAI (Società Italiana di Matematica Applicata e Industriale) and first awarded in 1999. Carrying a cash award of USD 5000, the Lagrange Prize is presently funded by the three member societies SMAI, SEMA and SIMAI. Majda was born in East Chicago, Indiana on January 30, 1949. He received a B.S. -

Let's first sketch the classical case; a Lie-Rinehart algebra is a couple (A; L) where L is a Lie algebra on a base field k, A an associative and commutative k-algebra, with two operations 1. (A; L) ! L denoted by (a; X) ! aX, which induces a A-module structure on L, and 2. -
