VITH WORKSHOP MATHEMATICA
Berlin, October 15
Organized by: mathemas (Kiel), WIAS
Sponsored by: WOLFRAM RESEARCH (UK), mathemas (Kiel), WIAS
The workshop on the computer algebra MATHEMATICA offered an established stage for an interdisciplinary exchange of information between producers and users of this software.
For example, problem solutions for nonlinear optimization, analysis and application of special integrals, advanced graphics methods (Bump Mapping) and for scientific publishing were treated in an international framework.
The invited main lecture, held by Prof. Paul Abbott (Perth/Australia), was titled ``The Ins & Outs of Mathematica: Approaches to problem solving using Mathematica''.
Twenty-five participants from all over Germany took part in the workshop, where scientists from universities and non-university research institutes were brought together with industrial partners.
TELI INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CONGRESS ``INNOVATION FOR DEFERRED PEOPLE''
Berlin, October 17-20
Organized by: TELI (Journalistenvereinigung für technisch-wissenschaftliche Publizistik)
Sponsored by: TELI and others
Latest news from German research have been presented to journalists from all over Europe. On October 20, 35 participants of the Congress came to WIAS. 11 talks were given on the topic ``Innovation Made in Germany'', e.g., by representatives of Siemens AG, Merck KGaA, Degussa AG, and Novartis Pharma GmbH. The hosting institute has been introduced by its director J. Sprekels during a 45 minutes presentation.
BMBF/BMWA/IEA WORKSHOP ``NEW LINKS BETWEEN BASIC RESEARCH AND APPLIED ENERGY R&D -- THE COMPUTATIONAL APPROACH''
Berlin, November 8-9
Organized by: Project Management Organization Jülich of BMBF and BMWA, WIAS
Sponsored by: BMWA
This workshop was planned jointly by the two German ministries responsible for research and economy and took place within the framework of the IEA's Ad Hoc Group on Science and Energy Technologies (AHGSET). Focusing on the technical ``pull'' from engineers and the scientific ``push'' from applied mathematicians, it offered a forum for mathematicians and energy researchers to demonstrate the role that applied mathematics can play in energy science. Taking the examples of fusion power, fuel cells, combustion, daylighting, and recovery of oil and gas, participants discussed opportunities and new paths for enhanced cooperation to reinforce links between mathematics and energy engineering. WIAS research has been introduced in a 30 minutes presentation ``Mathematical modelling of direct methanol fuel cells'' given by J. Sprekels.
