SIAG/LA

International Summer School on Numerical Linear Algebra (ISSNLA)

SIAG/LA organizes a triennial summer school: The SIAG/LA International Summer School on Numerical Linear Algebra (ISSNLA)

The main goal of the SIAG/LA-ISSNLA is to offer accessible courses on current developments in Numerical Linear Algebra and on the applications of Numerical Linear Algebra to other disciplines. The SIAG/LA-ISSNLA is mainly intended for doctoral students in any field where methods and algorithms of Numerical Linear Algebra are used.

The second ISSNLA will take place in 2010; summer schools will follow every three years thereafter.

The 2nd SIAG/LA International Summer School on Numerical Linear Algebra (ISSNLA) will also be the first Gene Golub SIAM Summer School 2010.
The first Gene Golub SIAM Summer School will take place at the Hotel Sierra Silvana, Selva di Fasano, Brindisi (Italy). The following four courses will be given during the two weeks from the 7th to the 18th of June 2010.
- Minimizing communication in numerical linear algebra, James Demmel, University of California at Berkeley, USA
- Nonlinear eigenvalue problems: analysis and numerical solution, Volker Mehrmann, Technische Universitaet Berlin, Germany.
- From Matrix to Tensor: The Transition to Computational Multilinear Algebra, Charles Van Loan, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, USA.
- Linear Algebra and Optimization, Margaret H. Wright, Courant Institute, New York University, USA
The summer school is geared towards doctoral students. There will be a limit of 50 students. There will be no registration fee. Funding for local accommodations and/or local expenses will be available for some of the participants. Limited travel funds may also be available. Watch the website for announcement of application deadline and procedures. For more information see the ISSNLA 2010 website.
