Report on SciCADE 2011 at the Fields Institute, Toronto.

SciCADE is a biennial meeting that focuses on numerical methods and software for differential equations, including, but not limited to, ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, differential algebraic equations, delay differential equations, stochastic differential equations and dynamical systems.
Wayne Enright, Ken Jackson and Bob Russell report on this year's meeting.

Workshop at BIRS: Localized Multi-Dimensional Patterns

While the whole of the US was facing a sizzling heat wave and Europe was washed away by months of rain, some of us where so lucky to get invited to a workshop at BIRS. Peter van Heijster shares his impressions.

SIAM conference on Applications of Dynamical Systems 2011: Impressions from Snowbird

The biannual SIAM `Snowbird' Conference on Applications of Dynamical Systems was held May 22 - 26, 2011 in Snowbird, Utah, outside of Salt Lake City. Steve Schecter gives his impressions.

Dynamics of planar fluids: Gene Wayne in the AMS Notices and some links to resources

Links to Gene Wayne's article in this month's Notices of the AMS and some online resources on the topic.

The end of theory?

This is an adaptation of a radio episode from the NPR program Engines of Our Ingenuity. It was inspired by a recent article in Wired on the program eureqa which "discovered" Newton's laws of motion - are Dynamical Systems' analysts becoming obsolete?

Recent Advances in the Numerical Approximation of Stochastic Partial Differential Equations

The conference was a NSF/CBMS Regional Conference in the Mathematical Sciences, and took place at the Department of Applied Mathematics of the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), August 9--13, 2010, Chicago. It was organised by Jinqiao Duan ([email protected]), Igor Cialenco, and Fred J. Hickernell.
