The SIAG/LA Prize is awarded every three (3) years to the author(s) of the most outstanding paper, as determined by the selection committee, on a topic in applicable linear algebra published in English in a peer-reviewed journal within the four (4) calendar years preceding the award year.

Eligibility Criteria:
The qualifying paper must contain significant research contributions to the field of linear algebra, as commonly defined in the mathematical literature, with direct or potential applications. The paper must have been published in English in a peer-reviewed journal in the four (4) calendar years preceding the award year. For the 2018 award, the paper must have been published between the dates of January 1, 2014 - December 31, 2017.

Nomination Deadline:
October 15, 2017

Required Materials:

  • Nominator’s Letter of Recommendation for Candidate Paper
  • Bibliographic Citation for Candidate Paper
  • Digital Version of the Candidate Paper (PDF required)

Householder Symposium XXI, June 2020

The Householder Symposium XXI on Numerical Linear Algebra will be held at Hotel Sierra Silvana, Selva di Fasano (Br), Italy, 14-19 June 2020. Preliminary information can be found at

http://users.ba.cnr.it/iac/irmanm21/HHXXI/index.html

This symposium is the twenty-first in a series, previously called the Gatlinburg Symposia, and will be organized in cooperation with the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) and the SIAM Activity Group on Linear Algebra.

The Symposium is very informal, with the intermingling of young and established researchers a priority. Participants are expected to attend the entire meeting. The seventeenth Householder Award for the best thesis in numerical linear algebra since 1 January 2017 will be presented.

Attendance at the meeting is by invitation only. Applications will be solicited from researchers in numerical linear algebra, matrix theory, and related areas such as optimization, differential equations, signal processing, and control. Each attendee will be given the opportunity to present a talk or a poster. Some talks will be plenary lectures, while others will be shorter presentations arranged in parallel sessions.

The application deadline will be some time in Fall 2019.

It is expected that partial support will be available for some students, early career participants, and participants from countries with limited resources.

Householder Symposium XX Summary

In this (timely!) article Jessica Bosch (UBC) describes her experience at the recent Householder Symposium XX.

Post-doc position at the University of Strathclyde

A two year post-doc position is available at the University of Strathclyde within the EPSRC-funded project Inference, Computation and Numerics for Insights into Cities (ICONIC) https://iconicmath.org/

To be considered for the role, you will be educated to a minimum of PhD level in an appropriate discipline, with experience in scientific computation and skills in one or more of: matrix computations, stochastic modelling, statistical inference, network science or data science.
