\Aabstract{%
We will give an overview of the current state of numerical analysis and
algorithms for the quasicontinuum method.
We will present results for atomistic-to-continuum coupling error, rates
of convergence for iterative solution methods, a posteriori error estimation,
and adaptive algorithms for atomistic-continuum modeling and continuuum
coarsening.
