1st Tuesday Journal-Paper Club: September 2016
For the September meeting of 1TJC we return to the German Club in East Brisbane and also return to our name sake (1TBC) by reviewing a book!
"A Multigrid Tutorial" by William L. Briggs, Van Emden Henson and Steve F. McCormick. (DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1137/1.9780898719505)
Luckily our reader leader, Nicholas Dawson from CSIRO, has assured me you don't have to actually read the book before the meeting (it's expensive and hard to find in a library) as he will provide a tutorial of the tutorial. Hopefully, we'll make these slides available online so that people can read these prior to the meeting...
Also, note that when we have a meeting at the German club "guests" need to signed in by members. Luckily we have a few members, who will loiter near the sign in book at the bar, and so this shouldn't be a problem.
About the 1st Tuesday Journal-Paper Club: the idea is to meet regularly, usually on the 1st Tuesday of the month as the name suggests (inspired by the ABC TV series "1st Tuesday Book Club"). Each month, the participants would agree on a highly cited, 'top ten' or major-prize-winning article in an SPS or ComSoc journal (but not one of our own!). We would also select a Discussion Leader. Through the month, each of the participants would read the article. At the next meeting, the Discussion Leader would lead a discussion of that article, starting with his/her own appraisal. In this way, it is hoped that we could all broaden our understanding of the field and further develop a sense of community.
1st rule of 1st Tuesday Journal-Paper Club: tell everyone about 1st Tuesday Journal-Paper Club.

Abstract
This second edition of the popular A Multigrid Tutorial preserves the introductory spirit of the first edition while roughly doubling the amount of material covered. The topics of the first edition have been enhanced with additional discussion, new numerical experiments, and improved figures. New topics in the second edition include nonlinear equations, Neumann boundary conditions, variable mesh and variable coefficient problems, anisotropic problems, algebraic multigrid (AMG), adaptive methods, and finite elements. This introductory book is ideally suited as a companion textbook for graduate numerical analysis courses. It is written for computational mathematicians, engineers, and other scientists interested in learning about multigrid.
