This edited volume addresses the importance of mathematics for industry and society by presenting highlights from contract research at the Department of Applied Mathematics at SINTEF, the largest independent research organization in Scandinavia. Examples range from computer-aided geometric design, via general purpose computing on graphics cards, to reservoir simulation for enhanced oil recovery. Contributions are written in a tutorial style.
This is the only textbook available on multiresolution methods in geometric modeling, a central topic in visualization, which is of great importance for industrial applications. Written in tutorial form, the book is introductory in character, and includes supporting exercises. Other supplementary material and software can be downloaded from the website www.ma.tum.de/primus 2001/.
This edited volume consists of twelve contributions related to the EU Marie Curie Transfer of Knowledge Project Cooperation of Estonian and Norwegian Scienti c Centres within Mathematics and its Applications, CENS-CMA (2005-2009), - der contract MTKD-CT-2004-013909, which ?nanced exchange visits to and from CENS, the Centre for Nonlinear Studies at the Institute of Cybernetics of Tallinn University of Technology in Estonia. Seven contributions describe research highlights of CENS members, two the work of members of CMA, the Centre of Mathematics for Applications,Univ- sity of Oslo, Norway, as the partner institution of CENS in the Marie Curie project, and three the ?eld of work of foreign research fellows, who visited CENS as part of theproject.

The goal was to produce a book, which highlights the importance of applied mathematics and which can be used for educational purposes, such as material for a course or a seminar. To ensure the scienti?c quality of the contributions, each paper was carefully - viewed by two international experts. Special thanks go to all authors and referees, without whom making this book would not have been possible.
This book concerns programming techniques like object-oriented programming and generic (template) programming. These modern techniques have proven to increase flexibility, modularization, code reuse and improve maintenance of large numerical codes. The book contains 11 refereed and comprehensive chapters on major subjects in computational science and engineering: quality measurement of numerical software, high-performance numerical computations with C++ without sacrificing efficiency, a balanced discussion of Java in scientific computing, object-oriented design of direct sparse solvers, geometric kernels in geographical information systems, and tools for error estimation in finite element methods, tools for validating computational results, and how to simplify the implementation of highly complex mathematical model for material processing.
