DESCRIPTION:Prof. Dr. Thomas Huckle\, Technical University of Munich\nComp
 utational Mathematics Seminar \n\nIn October 1999\, in the na-digest Pete 
 Stewart mentioned some famous numerical software errors like the Patriot f
 ailure during the Iraq war and the Vancouver Stock Exchange rounding error
  asking for further examples. This started a search for numerical software
  bugs adding a series of different bugs like the sinking of the Sleipner g
 as rig\, the deathly accidents by the Therac-25 radiation device\, the Pen
 tium division bug\, or the Ariane-5 explosion.\nIn this talk we will give 
 an overview over many of these classical bugs\, but also present more rece
 nt events related e.g. to Boeing 737 Max\, autonomous driving\, fly-by-wir
 e accidents\, bugs in financial transactions\, problems with military soft
 ware and space flight\, weather prediciton\, and airport management.
