1TJC September meeting

Apologies, I forgot to include a link to this event in vTools https://meetings.vtools.ieee.org/m/40835  

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.

Hope to see you there.
