The fifth China-Japan joint seminar on Numerical Mathematics was held from August 21 to 25 at Shanghai Jiaotong University， China.More than 49 participants from China and Japan attended this meeting. Among them were 20 invited speakers， 10 from Japan and 10 from China， including 2 representatives from Hong Kong.This proceeding collected over 11 one-hour invited talks and 17 twenty minutes short communications. These papers reflect the recent advances in Nu- merical Mathematics established by Chinese and Japanese scientists， especially in the fields of Numerical Solution of Partial Differential Equations， Numerical Linear Algebra and Approximations.

数学是人们在长期的社会实践中产生的，发展历史源远流长。因此它和生活中的人文景观，天文气象，金融理财等方面的知识结下了不解之缘。“数学传播谱新歌”丛书意在从上述人们所喜爱的题材出发，展示数学精辟它们的联系，相互的渗透和应用，从而使人们深深地体会：某一学科的自身发展离不开数学这门工具；数学是放之四海而皆准的普遍真理。《数学与文史》是丛书中的第一本，它们将数学和文史的知识结合在一起，阐述如何以数学的眼光观察、分析某些历史事实和人物；数学思想在处理知识时的哲理理念；文史之美和数学之美的和谐统一。《数学与文史》文字通俗、流畅、典雅，图文并茂，装帧精美，供读者在学习知识的同时获得美的享受。

这是一部东巴文化研究的论著。这是一部探索和解读东巴经典——英雄史诗《董埃术埃》的专著。用二十多万字的一本著作来论述、解读一部东巴经典，这在东巴文化的研究史上是一次创举，是使人耳目一新的一次开创性研究。

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Applied Parallel Computing， PARA 2002， held in Espoo， Finland， in June 2002.The 50 revised full papers presented together with nine keynote lectures were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the proceedings. The papers are organized in topical sections on data mining and knowledge discovery， parallel program development， practical experience in parallel computing， computer science， numerical algorithms with hierarchical memory optimization， numerical methods and algorithms， cluster computing， grid and network technologies， and physics and applications.

当今社会，对高素质人才的需求日益迫切。相应地，在学校中，注重素质教育，已成为人们的共识，在社会上，不断提高自身素质，已成为每位走向成功或更大成功人士的追求。一个人的素质有多方面，但数学素质，即智力素质，无疑是一个十分重要的方面。我们在学校里学的数学，作为一门学科，总包括两个方面：一是知识，一是能力。能力，即数学思维能力，与智力素质有着较为直接的联系。在学校里，进行数学思维训练的手段是做数学习题，这些习题以数学知识为材料，这当然是很自然合理的，因为教育的目的之一就是传授知识。但仅从训练思维的角度出发，还可以有一种以五光十色的社会生活为材料的数学趣题。这种数学趣题，并不涉及较深的数学知识，却要求有较强的思维能力，用来在课余或业余进行思维训练，是再恰当不过了。《数学思维游戏》中用于解题的数学知识一般不超出初中范围，题目的编排大致上是从易到难。当然，难易不是绝对的，况且有些题目因其中故事内容的关系，难易顺序也有颠倒。答案中有些内容比较深，可以先放一放，日后再加琢磨。一旦弄懂，必定其乐无穷，说不定还会由此把你引入数学殿堂呢！

斯梅尔是1966年菲尔兹数学大奖得主，他是一位有着独特人生经历的当代数学大师。他在数学的许多领域中做出了卓越成就，例如首先证明将球体从内向外翻转在理论上是可能的，提出了混沌概念的先声——斯梅尔马蹄等等。斯梅尔首先突破了维数障碍，在高维宠加莱猜想上取得重大进展，证明一个六维的世界有可能比一个三维世界更为简单。不仅如此，斯梅尔还是一名发起了旨在终结越南战争的反战运动的狐胆骑侠，并与美国的科学管理机构进行过维护学术自由的不懈斗争。斯梅尔有丰富的业余爱好，不但被公认为顶级的矿石收藏家，而且还热衷于摄影、航海、登山。本书由一位十分熟悉他的数学家撰写，不但以极其通俗的语言，介绍了斯梅尔数学成就的迷人之处，更令我们看到了一个特立独行、勇于追求、执着探索的数学家形象。...
