From the editor:

At the top of today’s newsletter, I’d like to put an announcement from Kristin & Sandy on the upcoming MathOnc23 meeting:

Late-breaking MathOnc23 News!

Due to massive demand, we made available a webinar link at a discounted rate for those who were unable to attend in person! 

If you wish to not attend onsite but rather livestream the conference for a discounted rate, during registration please use COUPON CODE: MATHONC23-LIVESTREAM

The newsletter now has a dedicated homepage where we post the cover artwork for each issue. We encourage submissions that coincide with the release of a recent paper from your group. This week’s artwork:

Based on: visualpde.com

Artist: Andrew Krause (@BlindMath), Adam Townsend (@Pecnut), and Benjamin Walker (@bj_w95)

Caption: “VisualPDE is a tool designed to bring the world of partial differential equations to a wider audience through real-time interactive web-based simulations usable on almost any device. A good place to start is the library of examples of basic PDEs. Beyond specific examples, we hope to encourage advanced users to design their own examples, and share these with a URL, or copy the markdown-based website design hosted on GitHub to design their own website for use in teaching or research communication.”
