   ADVANCES IN COMPUTATIONAL MODELLING AND NUMERICAL ANALYSIS

                      University of Chicago

                 September 10, 11, and 12, 1987

            A conference in honor of Jim Douglas, Jr.
            on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday.


The conference will focus on recent advances in techniques of
scientific computation, especially the numerical solution of
differential equations, and their mathematical analysis.  The
conference will consist of invited lectures with ample time for
discussion.  Lectures will be presented by
          
          Douglas Arnold            Jacques-Louis Lions
          Ivo Babuska               Mitchell Luskin
          James Bramble             Jean-Claude Nedelec
          Franco Brezzi             Joachim Nitsche
          Craig Douglas             Vidar Thomee
          Roland Glowinski          Mary Wheeler
          Herbert Keller

REGISTRATION: Conference registration is $10 if received by
August 15.  If paid after August 15 or at the conference,
registration is $15.  A banquet in honor of Professor Douglas
will be held on Friday, September 11, at the Quadrangle Club.

ACCOMODATIONS: Rooms are available at the Hyde Park Hilton at a
special conference rate of $65 for a single or double room.  To
receive these rates your reservations must be received by the
conference secretary by August 15.  Reservation requests
received thereafter will be subject to room availability and
will not benefit from the reduced conference rate. 

TRAVEL SUPPORT: We anticipate that there will be some funds
available to support travel to the conference for people without
other sources of support. 

CONFERENCE SUPPORT: The conference is supported by the National
Science Foundation and the Air Force Office of Scientific
Research.  Support has been requested from the Office of Naval
Research.
