1490.0. "ARTICULATING DIGITAL'S MATH POSITION" by MR4DEC::STANLEY () Thu Sep 12 1991 11:17

    I am in the Education/Science Marketing organization and am looking
    at the Mathematics (and secondarily the statistical analysis) market
    in order to articulate a cohesive marketing strategy and message for
    Digital. The relationships with most  of the major third party mathematics 
    software vendors is done in my group, with strong ties to other
    relevant Digital groups. We have a good story to tell here at Digital -
    Mathematica, Maple, MATHcad, IMSL, DXML, etc., etc. The PACKAGING of the 
    Digital message is what the field needs now.
    
    What is useful is an identifiable source of internal mathematics
    expertise to help with the articulation of the strategy. I am looking
    for people who have good ideas about the following:
    
    -What are the strengths that Digital has in Mathematics (human
    resources/expertise, published papers, research . . )
    -Experience using third party math products
    -Customer testimonials on how mathematics is being used innovatively
     with our systems (especially in Education and Science)
    -A guru on Computers and Mathematics: history, status quo and future.
    -Things Digital is doing in Mathematics that the rest of the world
    should know about.
    
    If you can help, please respond. I also like the idea of POTENTIALLY
    supporting/promoting the folks who are publishing the Digital Math
    book!
    
    Regards, Deb

1490.1Offer some help!HIBOB::SIMMONSTristram Shandy as an equestrianMon Sep 16 1991 12:5617
    I am sorry to see your inquiry has no replies.  Although I am educated
    in Math, I work as an engineer and therefore have little or no
    mathematical contact in DEC.  I can give you a couple of pointers
    though.
    
    DXML development group.  They must have a few numerical analysis types
    on board.
    
    Digital Western Research Lab.  I've seen some math out of there which,
    though completely out of my field, looked quite up to par.
    
    Laboratory Data Products.  I assume it's still around to support
    scientific cusomers.
    
    Come on folks - any others?

1490.2It will happenCIVAGE::LYNNLynn Yarbrough @WNP DTN 427-5663Mon Sep 16 1991 14:455
The resources are right here - there are about 150 names in this conference 
of people who have at least an active interest in the subject, even if they 
are not currently specializing in it. Many of the notes describe real 
problems and effective solutions. I have responded by mail, and I expect 
others may do so too.
1490.3MORE IS APPRECIATEDMR4DEC::STANLEYMon Sep 16 1991 14:5614
    Thanks for responding. A few of you have sent mail directly. This is a 
    large notesfile and I have culled what I can from it. I have spoken
    to some very good mathematicians in the company over the last year or
    so and have some leads there as well. I want to make sure I don't 
    miss anything significant and hence my note. 
    
    Thank you again for your response - I encourage more of you to do
    so. If you have an interesting idea for collaborative efforts with
    some the math vendors (we may manage them out of this group you know!)
    please let met know.
