Overview This is the 4th annual NENAD, a series of meetings held in New England
with a focus on Numerical Analysis.
Registration There is *no* registration fee. However, you must register by Tuesday,
April 17th to be assured of attending the luncheon. To do so, send an
email to 2012nenad@gmail.com. Please include your name, affiliation,
