Positions

Interested in research in the area of multivariate numerical integration (cubature) in general or quasi-Monte Carlo methods in particular?
Positions for PhD students are available.
Also short-term positions for post-docs with experience is the above area are available.
You may send me your cv by e-mail (pdf files only).

If you are looking for a multivariate integration rule (= a cubature formula) you will probably find it here.
Maybe you find my surveys on numerical integration (quadrature and cubature) useful.

Useful information (in Dutch) in connection with courses I teach.
