Open Access: Numerical Methods for Ordinary Differential Equations
I am happy to announce that our book:
Numerical Methods for Ordinary Differential Equations
is now available from TU Delft Open.
This text book has been used for more than 20 years to teach numerical methods for ordinary differential equations to applied mathematics and engineering students.
For the book see: https://textbooks.open.tudelft.nl/textbooks/catalog/book/57
In a couple of days also a hard copy of the book can be ordered from this site.
best regards,
Kees Vuik

Save the date!
NMC Scientific Days, 11 & 12 April 2023
The next Nederlands Mathematics Congres (NMC, Dutch Mathematical Congress) will take place on Tuesday 11 and Wednesday 12 April. Next to three interesting keynote speakers, the Brouwer medal will be awarded. Other elements of the programme will be sessions by the Mathematics Clusters, Gravitation programmes and AIM, inspiring workshops for PhD students, Speed dates with Industry and a poster competition.
The Scientific Machine Learning programme
The Scientific Machine Learning programme is currently being set-up, but you can already mark in your agenda the week of October 9-13, in which an Autumn School is organised at CWI (in collaboration with NDNS+ and 4TU.AMI), aimed at graduate students, with fascinating lectures on topics like reduced-order models, neural differential equations, and physics-informed machine learning.
SIAM CSE 2023 conference: early bird registration
Dear colleagues,
7 weeks from now, the SIAM CSE 2023 will start in the RAI, Amsterdam. We are expecting 2200+ participants, and will have 420 mini-symposia plus many nice events during the conference. You will be able to meet many respected colleagues, and listen to 8 renowned keynote speakers, plus the 4 prize winners of SIAM prizes.
The early bird registration fees will end on January 15, after that the fees will be 100 Euros higher. So, if you are planning to attend, register now! We look forward to seeing many Dutch and Flemish mathematicians at this major event, the largest maths conference ever in The Netherlands.
Best wishes,
The co-chairs of CSE23: Wil Schilders, Karen Devine, Dirk Hartmann
Join the hackathon at SIAM CSE 2023 in Amsterdam
Dear colleagues, especially the young talented ones!

Wil Schilders wins award
The NWO Stairway to Impact Award is granted to a person who is very active and effective in using science to tackle societal problems and to strengthen Dutch economy.
Wil satisfies the criteria for this award in very broad terms. A few examples:
- Within the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Wil acquired and successfully led very many industry-oriented research projects and he has set up the Project Development Office.
- Nationally, as director of the Platform Wiskunde Nederland, he undertook various activities for mathematics in the Netherlands, from setting up the national Sectorplan Beta en Techniek for mathematics institutes at Dutch universities, to acquiring funding for the nice mathematics journal Pythagoras for children.
- Internationally, as president of the European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry he has been very active in strengthening applied mathematics in Europe.
Although Wil is not far from his retirement (this morning he indicated not to know the meaning of this word 😉), he is still very active. He is always working on challenging projects and events, for instance:
-
Three months from now, Wil will organize the Computational Science and Engineering Conference of SIAM. The conference will be held in Amsterdam, for the first time outside the USA, with as expected number of participants: 2200. Registration is open: https://www.siam.org/conferences/cm/registration/cse23-registration.
-
In October 2023, Wil will become president of ICIAM, an influential position.
-
Meanwhile, he still finds time to supervise students, to teach mathematics now and then, to write Sudoku books for the general public, and more.
Congratulations with the award Wil, very well deserved!

National Agenda for Computational Sciences
Dear all,
On October 5th, the National Agenda for Computational Sciences has been presented to the Director of Innovation and Knowledge at the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy. I think this is an important development for our community.
For more information about this event see:
https://www.dutchcomputational.science/national-agenda/
and
https://www.tudelft.nl/en/2022/tu-delft/how-computational-science-can-contribute-to-a-sustainable-future
The Dutch version of the National Agenda is available:
https://www.dutchcomputational.science/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/NACS_online.pdf
an English version will follow soon.
During the network meeting on 18 October we will discuss various aspects of the National Agenda for Computational Sciences and how to grow as a community. For the Network Meeting I refer to:
