| 1297.1 | I'm not capable of answering your question | HERON::BUCHANAN | combinatorial bomb squad | Tue Sep 18 1990 07:05 | 6 |
| I suggest that you post this on Usenet. There are some competent
mathematicians living in sci.math, amongst the flakes and flamers, and you
could get some interesting serious replies.
Regards,
Andrew.

| Thanks andrew, I really dont know how to access usenet, how to use it
etc.. any pointers to how to access usenet and use it is appreciated.

| 1297.3 | from the literature .. | EAGLE1::BEST | R D Best, sys arch, I/O | Tue Sep 18 1990 12:47 | 24 |
| Here are some applied math areas that are currently generating a lot
of interest. Whether they will prove to be capable of supplying an income to
a specialist is another matter.
- nonlinear dynamics ( chaos )
This is the current buzzword for 'nonlinear differential equations'. ;-)
Riccati and Volterra were ahead of their time and didn't know it.
Many potential applications across a broad range of fields.
- neural networks
Applications are (predicted) to include voice and pattern recognition,
systems that 'learn' (whatever that means), and systems that get
reasonable solutions to traditionally NP-complete problems in human scale
times.
- parallel algorithms
Somewhat specific to the computer field.
- provably correct design
See previous comment.

| Re .2:
Two programs will allow you to access Usenet news from VMS systems
within Digital. One is XRN, the other is VNEWS. XRN uses X Windows.
VNEWS can be used on any Digital terminal.
There are conferences for these programs: UFP::XRN and CLO::VNEWS. In
the XRN conference, topic 66 contains kit information. I'm not sure
about the VNEWS conference; it may be topic 16. You'll also need to
select a server to use (a node you can reach via DECnet that provides
Usenet access). I use SHLUMP. I think the VNEWS conference contains a
topic where people list available servers.
Check out the conferences. If you have any problems or questions, feel
free to send me mail.

Although I no longer do research (its been 12 years),
I do try to participate (when possible) in this conference and subscribe
to a few of the theoretically oriented mathematics research journals.
Along with Andrews recommendation, I would like to suggest that you
take a look at the
Bulletin [New Series] of American Mathematical Society (AMS)
published quarterly. It is particularly helpful in that it is partitioned
into three sections:
Research Expository Articles,
Research Announcements
Book Reviews
with the 1st and last being the most accessible as it is intended for
more general audiences; the second and less accessible intended for
specialists. This would provide you with a flavor for active research
which as you will discover is incredibly diverse.
Goodluck,
-Franklin
