Thurber. Published by Academic Press. ISBN: 0120656043. This book is based on courses in inverse problems for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in the earth sciences that have been taught at New Mexico Tech and the University of Wisconsin-Madison by the authors. For more information on the course and the textbook, see http://www.ees.nmt.edu/Geop/Classes/GEOP529.html ----------------------------- From: michelle montgomery Subject: SIAM membership in developing countries Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2005 Subject: SIAM membership in developing countries SIAM offers an affordable membership option for individuals who live and work in developing countries. This category of membership, called "outreach membership," was created to help make SIAM products and services accessible to a wider and more global group of applied and computational mathematicians. This is a great alternative for individuals who reside in developing countries who cannot afford the full SIAM dues. For just $10 per year, eligible individuals receive many member benefits. Outreach members receive all print issues of SIAM News and electronic-only access to SIAM Review. They can join any of the SIAM Activity Groups at $10 per group, are entitled to 30% off list prices on all SIAM books, and receive member discounted registration at SIAM sponsored meetings. No additional journal subscriptions at membership rates are available as part of the outreach membership. Outreach membership is not based on country of citizenship, but on current country of residence. The list of developing countries that qualify for Outreach Membership can be found at http://www.siam.org/membership/outreach_list.htm. For more information go to http://www.siam.org/membership/outreachdesc.htm. You can join online at http://www.siam.org/cust_serv or download an application at http://www.siam.org/membership/outreach_2005.pdf. If you have any questions about Outreach Membership, contact membership@siam.org or Membership Manager Susan Whitehouse at whitehouse@siam.org.
