			    Final Announcement for
	The 1988 Conference on the Numerical Solution of IVPs for ODEs
	   to be held 20-24 June 1988 at the University of Toronto

				Organized by
		  Professors Wayne Enright and Ken Jackson,
	    Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto,
		      Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5S 1A4.
	      (enright@csri.toronto.edu or krj@csri.toronto.edu)

     The Conference.

     Currently we have scheduled  five	50-minute  invited  lectures  and
     sixty-two 30-minute contributed talks at "The 1988 Conference on the
     Numerical	Solution  of  IVPs  (Initial-Value  Problems)  for   ODEs
     (Ordinary Differential Equations)" to be held 20-24 June 1988 in the
     Department of Computer Science at the  University	of  Toronto.   In
     addition,	there  will  be	 ample	time for informal discussion with
     colleagues at the meeting.	 The invited speakers are: J. C. Butcher,
     P. Deuflhard,    J. Dormand   and	 P. J. Prince,	 C. W. Gear   and
     L. F. Shampine.   (Regrettably,  the  other  two  invited	speakers,
     R. Jeltsch	  and  S. P. Norsett,  are  not	 able  to  attend.)   The
     programme for the conference is listed  below.   Abstracts	 for  all
     talks will be distributed at the meeting.

	  To facilitate travel arrangements, the conference will close at
     noon  of  the  final  day.	  The  language of the conference will be
     English.

	  There will be several other large  conferences  in  Toronto  --
     including	the  Economic  Summit -- at the same time as our meeting.
     Therefore, if you have not already reserved  accommodation	 for  the
     conference, we recommend that you do so as soon as possible to avoid
     disappointment.

	  The final date for submitting a paper	 to  the  conference  has
     long  past.   However, if you wish to attend the conference, you can
     register  at  the meeting.   If you are from out of town, though, be 
     sure to reserve accommodation.  Although we are now  long  past  the
     deadlines,  it may still  be possible  to  book  a  room  at  either 
     Whitney Hall or the Delta Chelsea Inn.  See the instructions below.

     The Conference Location.

     The site of the conference is the University's downtown (St. George)
     campus.  All technical sessions will be held in the Sandford Fleming
     Building  (sometimes  called  the	Sandford   Fleming   Laboratory),
     10 King's	College Rd.,  at  the  south end of the campus.	 The main
     lecture room for the conference is SF1105 on the  main  floor,  east
     side  of  the  Sandford  Fleming  Building.  Those of you staying in
     residence accommodation will be  housed  in  Whitney  Hall,  85  St.
     George  St.,  located about 100 meters north of the Sandford Fleming
     Building.	The Delta Chelsea Inn is about a kilometer  east  of  the
     Sandford  Fleming	Building  at 33 Gerrard St. W.	A map showing the
     locations of all these buildings is available upon request.

     Toronto.

     Those of you who have not been in Toronto recently will notice  many
     exciting changes.	The cosmopolitan flavour of the city is reflected
     in the thriving Chinese, Italian, Greek and West Indian communities,
     to	 mention  only	a  few.	 The city has an excellent reputation for
     fine international cuisine.  There is a wide variety of  restaurants
     suiting  every  taste  and	 pocketbook, from elegant dining rooms to
     fast-food deli counters.  For avid walkers, there are many	 pleasant
     strolls  around the campus and the numerous parks and gardens nearby
     in the city.  Sites worth seeing include the Royal	 Ontario  Museum,
     the  McLaughlin Planetarium, the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art (all
     on the east side of the  University  campus),  the	 Art  Gallery  of
     Ontario (a few blocks south of the campus), Harbourfront and Ontario
     Place (both on the lakeshore), The Science Centre (a few  kilometers
     north-east	 of  the  campus),  as	well  as  the  McMichael Canadian
     Collection (art of "The Group of  Seven")	and  the  internationally
     acclaimed	Metropolitan  Toronto  Zoo  (both  on  the  outskirts  of
     Metropolitan Toronto).  And of course,  there  are	 many  shops  and
     boutiques	close  to  the	University  campus.  In addition, Niagara
     Falls is about 130 km  south-west	of  Toronto;  the  Shaw	 Festival
     Theatre  is located a short drive from the Falls in the historic and
     picturesque  town	of  Niagara-On-The-Lake;  and  the  Shakespearean
     Festival Theatre is located in Stratford, Ontario, about 150 km west
     of Toronto.  More information about the  city  and	 the  surrounding
     areas will be included in your conference registration package.

	  The average high for Toronto in mid June is  about  25C  (78F),
     the  average  low	about  15C  (59F),  with  inclement weather being
     uncommon.	However, the temperature is quite variable at  this  time
     of	 year,	and  may  be  considerably  warmer  or	cooler than these
     averages suggest.

     On-Site Registration.

     The on-site registration for the meeting  will  take  place  in  the
     Atrium  outside  room  SF1105  on	the  main floor, east side of the
     Sandford Fleming Building on Sunday, June 19, from 19:30  to  21:00,
     Monday,  June 20,	from 8:15 to 9:00, and every other morning of the
     conference from 8:30 to 9:00.  In addition to  registration  on  the
     Sunday  evening,  there  will  be	an  informal gathering with light
     refreshments for conference participants and  their  guests  in  the
     Atrium of the Sandford Fleming Building.

	  If you have registered for the conference, but are not able  to
     come, please inform us of this -- particularly if you have submitted
     a paper -- so that we can remove your name from the  programme.   We
     will  refund  your	 conference  registration  fee if informed before
     June 10 of your inability to attend the conference.  Contact Whitney
     Hall  or  the  Delta  Chelsea Inn directly for a refund of your room
     deposit.

     Transportation.

     Both the University campus and the Delta Chelsea  Inn  are	 about	a
     half-hour	drive  from  the Lester B. Pearson International Airport.
     Taxi or Airport-Limousine fare to	either	is  about  $25-30  (Cdn),
     independent   of	the   number   of   passengers	in  the	 vehicle.
     Alternatively, there is frequent bus service (every 20 minutes  from
     5:25  to  22:45)  from the airport to the downtown hotels, including
     the Delta Chelsea Inn.  The cost per person is $7.50  (Cdn)  one-way
     or $12.50 (Cdn) return.

	  Unfortunately, there is  no  direct  bus  service  between  the
     airport and the University campus.	 You could, though,

     o  take the airport bus to the the Delta Chelsea Inn,

     o  walk a block north from the Inn to College Street,

     o  walk or take the street-car west about a kilometer to  St. George
	St.,

     o  and then walk about 100 meters north on St. George St. to Whitney
	Hall.

     Alternatively, you could

     o  take an airport bus to the Islington Subway Station,

     o  take the subway east to the St. George Subway Station,

     o  and then walk about 200 meters south on St. George St. to Whitney
	Hall.

     The second alternative is cheaper -- $4.00 (Cdn)  one-way	or  $6.50
     return  for  the airport bus; both the subway and the streetcar cost
     $1.05 (Cdn) for a single ride or eight tickets or tokens (each  good
     for  one  ride)  for  $7 (Cdn).   However,	 the  bus  service to the
     Islington Subway Station is less frequent -- about every 40  minutes
     from  7:00	 to 00:30.  By the way, there are 24-hour money exchanges
     in the Toronto airport; I believe they offer competitive rates.

	 Please circulate this announcement to interested colleagues.

			    Final Announcement for
	The 1988 Conference on the Numerical Solution of IVPs for ODEs
	   to be held 20-24 June 1988 at the University of Toronto

				Organized by
		  Professors Wayne Enright and Ken Jackson,
	    Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto,
		      Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5S 1A4.
	      (enright@csri.toronto.edu or krj@csri.toronto.edu)

     The Conference.

     Currently we have scheduled  five	50-minute  invited  lectures  and
     sixty-two 30-minute contributed talks at "The 1988 Conference on the
     Numerical	Solution  of  IVPs  (Initial-Value  Problems)  for   ODEs
     (Ordinary Differential Equations)" to be held 20-24 June 1988 in the
     Department of Computer Science at the  University	of  Toronto.   In
     addition,	there  will  be	 ample	time for informal discussion with
     colleagues at the meeting.	 The invited speakers are: J. C. Butcher,
     P. Deuflhard,    J. Dormand   and	 P. J. Prince,	 C. W. Gear   and
     L. F. Shampine.   (Regrettably,  the  other  two  invited	speakers,
     R. Jeltsch	  and  S. P. Norsett,  are  not	 able  to  attend.)   The
     programme for the conference is listed  below.   Abstracts	 for  all
     talks will be distributed at the meeting.

	  To facilitate travel arrangements, the conference will close at
     noon  of  the  final  day.	  The  language of the conference will be
     English.

	  There will be several other large  conferences  in  Toronto  --
     including	the  Economic  Summit -- at the same time as our meeting.
     Therefore, if you have not already reserved  accommodation	 for  the
     conference, we recommend that you do so as soon as possible to avoid
     disappointment.

	  The final date for submitting a paper	 to  the  conference  has
     long  past.   However, if you wish to attend the conference, you can
     register  at  the meeting.   If you are from out of town, though, be 
     sure to reserve accommodation.  Although we are now  long  past  the
     deadlines,  it may still  be possible  to  book  a  room  at  either 
     Whitney Hall or the Delta Chelsea Inn.  See the instructions below.

     The Conference Location.

     The site of the conference is the University's downtown (St. George)
     campus.  All technical sessions will be held in the Sandford Fleming
     Building  (sometimes  called  the	Sandford   Fleming   Laboratory),
     10 King's	College Rd.,  at  the  south end of the campus.	 The main
     lecture room for the conference is SF1105 on the  main  floor,  east
     side  of  the  Sandford  Fleming  Building.  Those of you staying in
     residence accommodation will be  housed  in  Whitney  Hall,  85  St.
     George  St.,  located about 100 meters north of the Sandford Fleming
     Building.	The Delta Chelsea Inn is about a kilometer  east  of  the
     Sandford  Fleming	Building  at 33 Gerrard St. W.	A map showing the
     locations of all these buildings is available upon request.

     Toronto.

     Those of you who have not been in Toronto recently will notice  many
     exciting changes.	The cosmopolitan flavour of the city is reflected
     in the thriving Chinese, Italian, Greek and West Indian communities,
     to	 mention  only	a  few.	 The city has an excellent reputation for
     fine international cuisine.  There is a wide variety of  restaurants
     suiting  every  taste  and	 pocketbook, from elegant dining rooms to
     fast-food deli counters.  For avid walkers, there are many	 pleasant
     strolls  around the campus and the numerous parks and gardens nearby
     in the city.  Sites worth seeing include the Royal	 Ontario  Museum,
     the  McLaughlin Planetarium, the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art (all
     on the east side of the  University  campus),  the	 Art  Gallery  of
     Ontario (a few blocks south of the campus), Harbourfront and Ontario
     Place (both on the lakeshore), The Science Centre (a few  kilometers
     north-east	 of  the  campus),  as	well  as  the  McMichael Canadian
     Collection (art of "The Group of  Seven")	and  the  internationally
     acclaimed	Metropolitan  Toronto  Zoo  (both  on  the  outskirts  of
     Metropolitan Toronto).  And of course,  there  are	 many  shops  and
     boutiques	close  to  the	University  campus.  In addition, Niagara
     Falls is about 130 km  south-west	of  Toronto;  the  Shaw	 Festival
     Theatre  is located a short drive from the Falls in the historic and
     picturesque  town	of  Niagara-On-The-Lake;  and  the  Shakespearean
     Festival Theatre is located in Stratford, Ontario, about 150 km west
     of Toronto.  More information about the  city  and	 the  surrounding
     areas will be included in your conference registration package.

	  The average high for Toronto in mid June is  about  25C  (78F),
     the  average  low	about  15C  (59F),  with  inclement weather being
     uncommon.	However, the temperature is quite variable at  this  time
     of	 year,	and  may  be  considerably  warmer  or	cooler than these
     averages suggest.

     On-Site Registration.

     The on-site registration for the meeting  will  take  place  in  the
     Atrium  outside  room  SF1105  on	the  main floor, east side of the
     Sandford Fleming Building on Sunday, June 19, from 19:30  to  21:00,
     Monday,  June 20,	from 8:15 to 9:00, and every other morning of the
     conference from 8:30 to 9:00.  In addition to  registration  on  the
     Sunday  evening,  there  will  be	an  informal gathering with light
     refreshments for conference participants and  their  guests  in  the
     Atrium of the Sandford Fleming Building.

	  If you have registered for the conference, but are not able  to
     come, please inform us of this -- particularly if you have submitted
     a paper -- so that we can remove your name from the  programme.   We
     will  refund  your	 conference  registration  fee if informed before
     June 10 of your inability to attend the conference.  Contact Whitney
     Hall  or  the  Delta  Chelsea Inn directly for a refund of your room
     deposit.

     Transportation.

     Both the University campus and the Delta Chelsea  Inn  are	 about	a
     half-hour	drive  from  the Lester B. Pearson International Airport.
     Taxi or Airport-Limousine fare to	either	is  about  $25-30  (Cdn),
     independent   of	the   number   of   passengers	in  the	 vehicle.
     Alternatively, there is frequent bus service (every 20 minutes  from
     5:25  to  22:45)  from the airport to the downtown hotels, including
     the Delta Chelsea Inn.  The cost per person is $7.50  (Cdn)  one-way
     or $12.50 (Cdn) return.

	  Unfortunately, there is  no  direct  bus  service  between  the
     airport and the University campus.	 You could, though,

     o  take the airport bus to the the Delta Chelsea Inn,

     o  walk a block north from the Inn to College Street,

     o  walk or take the street-car west about a kilometer to  St. George
	St.,

     o  and then walk about 100 meters north on St. George St. to Whitney
	Hall.

     Alternatively, you could

     o  take an airport bus to the Islington Subway Station,

     o  take the subway east to the St. George Subway Station,

     o  and then walk about 200 meters south on St. George St. to Whitney
	Hall.

     The second alternative is cheaper -- $4.00 (Cdn)  one-way	or  $6.50
     return  for  the airport bus; both the subway and the streetcar cost
     $1.05 (Cdn) for a single ride or eight tickets or tokens (each  good
     for  one  ride)  for  $7 (Cdn).   However,	 the  bus  service to the
     Islington Subway Station is less frequent -- about every 40  minutes
     from  7:00	 to 00:30.  By the way, there are 24-hour money exchanges
     in the Toronto airport; I believe they offer competitive rates.

	 Please circulate this announcement to interested colleagues.

     for arrival after 6 p.m. by giving a deposit or credit card number.

     Cancellations must be received prior to 6 p.m. on the scheduled  day
     of arrival to avoid a "no show" charge.
