Objective:

NUMERICAL LINEAR ALGEBRA arises in many areas of scientific computing and  engineering applications and it forms the basis and the core of modern numerical analysis. To attract attention and cultivate interest of young scientists, the “Third International Summer School on Numerical Linear Algebra” will be organized during July 20-August 1, 2009, by State Key Laboratory of Scientific and Engineering Computing (LSEC) in Beijing. The main topics of this summer school include matrix eigenvalue computations and PDE-based image processing.

Graduate students as well as young scientists of ages less than 35, graduated within the last five years and working on numerical linear algebra, can apply for the summer school.  Forty paticipants will be selected and approved by the Selection Committee in April, 2009.

The series of numerical linear algebra summer schools was started in July 2006. For more details, please visit the webpages NLA06 and NLA07.
