NIU’s Department of Mathematical Sciences will host an international conference on campus on linear and numerical linear algebra.
The conference begins Wednesday, Aug. 12, and runs through Friday, Aug. 14.
“Through this conference, we aim to strengthen the ties and enhance communication between the theoretical, applied and computational areas of linear algebra,” says conference chairman Biswa Datta, a Distinguished Research Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences.
“We’re bringing together top researchers in linear algebra, numerical linear algebra and targeted application areas, such as control and systems theory and signal and image processing, for an exchange of ideas and discussions of recent developments and future directions of research,” he adds.
The conference is drawing researchers from top U.S. universities, including MIT, Duke, Emory, Purdue, Wake Forest, Texas A&M, Arizona State, the College of William and Mary and the Universities of Illinois, Connecticut, Wisconsin-Madison and California-Santa Barbara.
Also attending are participants from international institutions such as the University of Liverpool, University College, Dublin (Ireland), University of Waterloo (Canada) and the Israel Institute of Technology.
A special issue of the journal, “Linear Algebra and Its Applications,” will be devoted to selected papers presented at the event, which is supported by the NIU Department of Mathematical Sciences, the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) and the University of Wyoming.
