LSU to Host Two Events This Week for Mathematics Researchers
CCT will host two events this week for national and international researchers in mathematics.
The Workshop on Automating the Development of Scientific Computing Software will take place March 5-7, and researchers will discuss how to best automate the process of developing software for scientific simulation.
Members from several research groups around the world will attend the workshop to disseminate the latest developments in this emerging research area. Speakers from 13 universities and five countries will contribute to this workshop.
In conjunction with the workshop, a joint meeting of the Finite Element Circus and the Finite Element Rodeo will be held on campus March 7-8. The Finite Element Circus and the Finite Element Rodeo are two series of conferences devoted to the theory and applications of the finite element method and related areas of numerical analysis and partial differential equations.
This is the second joint meeting of the two groups. The first one was held at the University of Texas at Austin in 2000. More than 70 national and international researchers will attend this meeting to present their latest work.
Susanne C. Brenner, a professor with CCT and the LSU Department of Mathematics, will host both events.

Upcoming Lectures:
• Bill St. Arnaud, Director of Network Projects for CANARIE Inc. will give a lectured titled “Saving The Planet At The Speed Of Light: Green Cyber Infrastructure, How to address the challenges of CI uptake” Friday, March 7 at 11:30 a.m. in Frey Computing Services 307.
• IMPORTANT: Anyone organizing a lecture should first check with Karen Jones for available dates to avoid having multiple lectures on the same day. Also, coordinate with your Focus Area lead so that CCT can get the best attendance possible. There may be open slots in a standard lecture series that needs to be filled.
Please Note:
• CCT will host the Finite Element Circus and Rodeo March 5-8 on campus. Please contact Dr. Susanne Brenner if you have questions or would like to participate.
• Dr. Brenner also is organizing the Workshop on Automating the Development of Scientific Computing Software at CCT March 5-7. Please contact her to participate. Web site: http://www.cct.lsu.edu/scientificomputing
• ALL CCT Meetings for the spring are scheduled as follows: March 26, April 23, May 21, June 18 and July 16. All meetings are held at 3 p.m. in 338 Johnston Hall. Faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to attend.
