SIAM Activity Group on Linear Algebra

The first ISSNLA took place in Spain in 2008, where it was held in cooperation with SIMUMAT (Mathematical Modeling and Numerical Simulation in Science and Technology) and took the form of the SIAG/LA-SIMUMAT International Summer School in Numerical Linear Algebra. Four courses were given during the school:

• 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

A report on the 2008 Summer School (PDF, 89K) is available.
