CALL for PAPERS

The Thirteenth Leslie Fox Prize meeting will take place on Friday, June 22nd 2007, at the Oxford University Computing Laboratory, University of Oxford.

Entries for the Thirteenth Leslie Fox Prize competition should now be submitted. Any person who is less than 31 years old on January 1st, 2007 and has not already won a first prize is eligible. Each entry should consist of a paper, describing some of the candidate's research, that is suitable for a 40 minute lecture at a numerical analysis symposium. Whether or not the work has been published or accepted for publication is irrelevant, but no person may submit more than one paper. Candidates from previous competitions are encouraged to enter.

The entries will be considered by an Adjudicating Committee: its members are Professor Endre Süli (Oxford, Chairman), Professor Andrew Stuart (Warwick), and Professor Nick Higham (Manchester). Particular attention will be given to the originality and quality of each paper, and to the suitability of the material for a 40 minute talk to a general audience of numerical analysts. Papers will be selected by the Committee by mid-April 2007, for presentation at the Leslie Fox Prize meeting. Only the papers that are presented at the symposium will be eligible for awards but, subject to this restriction, the Adjudicating Committee may award any number of first and second prizes.

• Entries should be received, by the Chairman, by January 31st, 2007, either electronically as a PostScript or a pdf file or as three hard copies by regular mail.
• Each candidate should include a statement of her/his year of birth and should indicate that she/he would be available to present her/his paper at the symposium.
• A joint paper may be submitted by an individual candidate if accompanied by a statement from the co-authors agreeing to the submission and detailing the contribution of the candidate to the paper.
• Travel funds are not generally available to assist candidates who attend the symposium.
• The receipt of all entries will be acknowledged.

Any question on this notice should be addressed to a member of the Adjudicating Committee.
