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.

Massively Multiplayer Mathematics

Although theorems are frequently named after a single person, most progress in mathematics is the result of a group effort. Recently several difficult problems in mathematics have been attacked by a collective of mathematicians that have communicated through online blogs. The immediacy of this mode of communication allowed the first proposed problem to be cracked in a surprisingly short time. Will this remain an isolated approach, or can we expect that hard mathematical problems will be regularly crowdsourced in the future?
