Applied mathematics, software and workflow. Posts at SIAM News. Numerical Methods That (Usually) Work →. Michael J. D. Powell (1936–2015). May 5, 2015. I would like to share a couple of photos of Mike Powell, FRS, who passed away last month. The photos are from early and late in his career. The second image is from June 2013 and was taken at the banquet at the Biennial Conference in Numerical Analysis. A memorial web site. For Mike has been set up. This entry was posted in people.

Applied mathematics, software and workflow. Posts at SIAM News. Numerical Methods That (Usually) Work. 50 Years of the Biennial Conference on Numerical Analysis →. June 18, 2015. I have been using Emacs on Unix systems since the 1980s. The vast majority of my work is done on PCs, though, and from about 1988 until 2011 I used an editor for the PC called Qedit, later renamed TSE Pro. On the Mac) I switched to Emacs. Emacs interrupted by a train, courtesy of https:/ github.com/mtoyoda/sl. Since 2011 I have ...

Applied mathematics, software and workflow. Posts at SIAM News. Newer posts →. Mathematics and Digital Photography. May 17, 2016. A few months ago I wrote a post Mathematics in Color. In which I discussed some mathematical aspects of color and showed how a simple change of basis from RGB color space to LAB color space can enable dramatic color changes to be done very easily. I’ve just launched a new blog on photography and digital imaging. Head over to the post Refined Use of the Clarity Tool in Photoshop.

After watching the Geico about a man made of money. I asked my wife. “If a person were actually made of $100 bills, how much would that be? 8221; Neither of us knew the answer. So I set to find out! First, getting the volume of a US bill. Now, what is the volume of an adult human? Am J Clin Nutr. 53,000 (using $1 bills).

Anderson Acceleration | Nick Higham
https://nickhigham.wordpress.com/2015/08/05/anderson-acceleration
Applied mathematics, software and workflow. Posts at SIAM News. The Princeton Companion to Applied Mathematics. Knuth on Knowing Your Audience →. August 5, 2015. Anderson acceleration, also known in quantum chemistry as Pulay mixing or direct inversion in the iterative subspace (DIIS), is a technique for accelerating the convergence of a fixed-point iteration. It has been widely used in electronic structure computations, but does not seem to be well known to numerical analysts. Organized by Tim Kelley.
