Topic #1  ----------    OP-SF NET 12.3   ------------  May 15, 2005
                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From: Peter Clarkson <P.A.Clarkson@kent.ac.uk>
Subject: Message from the Chair

Welcome to the latest issue of OP-SF Electronic newsletter

I recently met with Jim Crowley (SIAM Executive Director) in
Philadelphia and discussed aspects of our SIAG with him and other
members of SIAM. In particular I have requested a meeting theme
for our SIAG at the 2006 SIAM Annual Meeting which is to be held
in Boston, July 10th-14th 2006. I hope that there can be a good
representation from our SIAG at this meeting.

This summer I shall be attending workshop on "Special Functions
and Orthogonal Polynomials" which is part of the meeting
"Foundations of Computational Mathematics", Santander, Spain
(June 30-July 2), the meeting "Special Functions: Asymptotic
Analysis and Computation, a Conference in honor of Nico Temme's
65th Birthday", Santander, Spain (July 4-6) and the
OPSFA8/ICDEA10, Munich, Germany (July 25-29). I look forward to
seeing members of our SIAG at these meetings.

From: OP-SF NET Editor <muldoon@yorku.ca>
Subject: AMADE 2006 in Minsk

This information is from the web site:
http://www.amade-bsu.com/

The Belarusian State University and the Institute of Mathematics of the
Belarusian National Academy of Sciences together with Moscow State
University organize the fourth International Conference "Analytic
Methods of Analysis and Differential Equations" (AMADE-2006)  in
September, 2006, in Minsk, Belarus. The Conference will be dedicated
to centenary of academician Fedor Dmitrievich Gakhov (1906-1980).
It maintains the tradition of the previous conferences "Boundary
Value Problems, Fractional Calculus and Special Functions" (1996)
and "Analytic Methods of Analysis and Differential Equations"
(1999, 2001, 2003), held in Minsk. The Conference is organized
under the guidance of the International Society of Applied Analysis
and Computation (ISAAC).

Section titles:

    * Integral Transforms and Special Functions
    * Differential Equations
    * Integral, Difference and Functional Equations and Fractional
          Calculus
    * Real and Complex Analysis
    * Applied Problems of Analysis and Differential Equations

The length of plenary invited lectures is 45 min, reports - 20 min
and short communications - 10 min. The publication of the abstract
and the proceedings is planned.

The Second Announcement containing additional information on the
preliminary list of participants, abstracts preparation, exact date
and place of the Conference as well as its financial conditions will
be sent in September, 2005.



Topic #4  ----------    OP-SF NET 12.3   ------------  May 15, 2005
                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From: Krishnaswami Alladi <alladi@math.ufl.edu>
Subject: New SASTRA Ramanujan Prize

SASTRA University, a private university in South India formed about
15 years ago, has announced the SASTRA Ramanujan Prize of $10,000 to
be awarded annually to a young mathematician not exceeding the age of
32 for outstanding contributions in an area of mathematics influenced
by Ramanujan. Please go to

 http://www.math.ufl.edu/sastra-prize/

to see the full announcement.

SASTRA's entry into the world of Ramanujan began in 2003 with the
purchase of Ramanujan's home in Kumbakonam, South India, in order
to maintain it as a museum for posterity. Now SASTRA has launched
this prize in the name of Ramanujan.

I request your help in publicizing this by displaying this in your
web site and in drawing the attention of mathematicians at conferences
you will be attending.

The SIAM Activity Group on Orthogonal Polynomials and Special
Functions consists of a broad set of mathematicians, both pure
and applied.  The Group also includes engineers and scientists,
students as well as experts. We have around 140 members scattered
about in more than 20 countries. Whatever your specialty might
be, we welcome your participation in this classical, and yet
modern, topic.  Our WWW home page is:

 For several years the Activity Group sponsored a printed
 Newsletter, most recently edited by Rafael Yanez. Back issues
 are accessible at:

http://www.mathematik.uni-kassel.de/~koepf/siam.html

Given the widespread availability of email and the Internet, the
need for the printed Newsletter has decreased. Discussions are
underway concerning whether an annual printed Newsletter or
Annual Report should be instituted.

SIAM has several categories of membership, including low-cost
categories for students and residents of developing countries.
