CALL for PAPERS

The Fifteenth Leslie Fox Prize meeting will take place on Monday, June 27th 2011, in the Manchester Institute for Mathematical Sciences at The University of Manchester.

Entries for the Fifteenth Leslie Fox Prize competition should be submitted by January 31, 2011. Any person who is less than 31 years old on January 1st, 2011 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 meeting. 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 comprising

• Nick Higham (University of Manchester, Chairman)
• Mark Ainsworth (University of Strathclyde)

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 2011, for presentation at the Leslie Fox Prize meeting. Only the papers that are presented at the meeting will be eligible for awards but, subject to this restriction, the Adjudicating Committee may award any number of first and second prizes.
