SIAM Activity Group on Linear Algebra

International Summer School on Numerical Linear Algebra

The SIAM Activity Group on Linear Algebra organizes a 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 graduate students in any field where methods and algorithms of Numerical Linear Algebra are used.

2010

The 2nd SIAG/LA International Summer School on Numerical Linear Algebra (ISSNLA) (opens in new window) was also the first Gene Golub SIAM Summer School 2010.
The first Gene Golub SIAM Summer School took place at the Hotel Sierra Silvana, Selva di Fasano, Brindisi (Italy). The following four courses where 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

2008

The first ISSNLA took place in Spain, July 21-25, 2008. The Summer School was held in cooperation SIMUMAT (opens in new window) (Mathematical Modeling and Numerical Simulation in Science and Technology) and took the form of the SIAG/LA-SIMUMAT International Summer School on Numerical Linear Algebra (opens in new window). The following four courses where given during the two weeks from the 7th to the 18th of June 2010.

• Krylov subspace methods for solving linear systems, Michael Eiermann, Institut für Numerische Mathematik und Optimierung,
  Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg


• Matrix methods in data mining Lars Eldén, Department of Mathematics, Linköping University


• Mechanics and linear algebra Richard B. Lehoucq, Sandia National Laboratories


• Structured eigenvalue problems: modern theory and computational practice David S. Watkins, Department of Mathematics, Washington State University
