Workshop on Numerical Linear Algebra
August 8-10, 2002
IMA, Minneapolis, MN
Part of the 2002 Conference on Foundations of Computational Mathematics

Organized by Alan Edelman and Steve Vavasis

FoCM 2002 brings together mathematicians, numerical analysts, computer scientists and engineers all interested in deeper understanding of the computational process. This workshop focuses on numerical linear algebra. Special interest areas of this workshop include
