Computer Experiments Transforming Math

Many
people regard mathematics as the crown jewel of the sciences.
Yet math has historically lacked one of the defining trappings
of science: laboratory equipment. Now, computers are starting
to give mathematicians the lab instrument they have been
missing. At a recent workshop, organizers David
Bailey, with Berkeley Lab's Computational Research
Division, and Jonathan Borwein of Dalhousie University,
argued that computer experimentation is launching a new
epoch in mathematics. Full
story.

Victor Markowitz created his own position at the Department of Energy's Joint Genome Institute. It grew out of his ideas on how to implement industrial practices at the research center; a collaboration between the Lawrence Livermore, Lawrence Berkeley, and Los Alamos national laboratories. "The question was: when did we do it (start industry practices)? It's not like they never thought about it. It just seemed like, at this point, they decided to make a more serious attempt at introducing practices," he said. Full story.

Lab Issues, Highlights
At Today's Brown Bag
Today's Brown Bag conversation featuring Berkeley Lab Director Charles Shank and Deputy Director Pier Oddone will offer employees the opportunity to hear directly from senior management on issues, accomplishments and challenges. The lunchtime discussion begins at noon in the Building 90-3148 conference room, and is one in a series of scheduled dialogues between employees and lab leadership.
ALS Electrical
Switching Today
Facilities
electricians will today carry out 12-kv power
switching at the ALS Switching Station (SWA3),
returning the ALS to its normal configuration.
A hill-wide announcement will precede switching
operations. The procedures will be transparent
to the Lab community, and it is highly unlikely
that an interruption of power will occur. However,
the possibility of an electrical power interruption
always exists. Please take all necessary
precautions. For additional information contact
Jim Murphy at x4175 or Mahesh
Gupta at x5220.

Campus Graduations Mean More Traffic
It's that time of year again and soon UC Berkeley will be holding their numerous graduation ceremonies. Several of these will be held in the Greek Theater, which could impact on traffic entering and exiting through the Blackberry Gate. Problems can be expected tomorrow when the campus's Commencement Convocation — which features "Nightline" anchor Ted Koppel — takes place at 4 p.m., and next Friday, May 21, at 9 a.m. when six departments conduct their graduation there. Go here for a complete schedule of ceremonies.
Checks Only For
Baseball Tickets
As announced last week in "Today at Berkeley Lab," the Employee Activities Association is selling tickets to the June 26 A's vs. Giants game in the cafeteria this week between noon and 1 p.m. To make a purchase, be sure to bring your checkbook, since cash or credit cards will not be accepted.
