Mathematical Sciences: Householder Symposium XII on Numerical Algebra

本次会议的主题是数值线性代数，这是计算数学的一个领域，在许多科学和工程领域有着广泛而重要的应用。原因很简单：当在数字计算机上模拟物理定律时，物理模型被简化为一个代数模型，然后计算机对其进行操作和求解，以提供一个近似的物理解。在具有长范围耦合的模型中，如分子动力学和飞机周围的流动，这种代数模型的数值解是计算中最耗时的部分。因此，在科学计算领域中，数值线性代数处于科学与计算机之间的关键节点。住户研讨会被广泛认为是数值线性代数领域的首要会议。自上世纪50年代以来，每三年举办一次，举办地在北美和欧洲交替举行。它吸引了世界各地该领域最优秀的人才。地点通常是在一个僻静的隐居处，远离城市的干扰，以促进一个有利于交流思想的亲密环境。今年的会议地点在洛杉矶附近的加州大学洛杉矶分校箭头湖会议中心，这是一个一流的会议中心，拥有一流的设施，而且为与会者提供了诱人的价格。我们认为它非常符合这个系列会议的传统。日期定在1993年6月13日至18日。

The topic of this conference is on numerical linear algebra, and area of computational mathematics that has wide and important applications in many fields of science and engineering. The reason is quite simple: when simulating physical laws on a digital computer, the physical model is reduced to an algebraic model which the computer then manipulate and solve to provide an approximation to the physical solution. In models with long range couplings, e.g. molecular dynamics and the flow around an airplane, the numerical solutions of this algebraic model is the most time consuming part of computation. Thus, numerical linear algebra lies at the critical juncture between the science and the computer within the field of scientific computing. The Householder Symposium is widely recognized as the premier conference in the field of numerical linear algebra. it has been held once every 3 years since the 50's with the venue alternating between North America and Europe. It draws the best people in the field from all over the world. The location is usually in a secluded retreat, away from urban distractions, to promote an intimate environment conducive to exchange of ideas. This year the venue is at the UCLA Lake Arrowhead Conference Center near Los Angeles, a first class conference center, with excellent facilities and yet offers attractive rates for the participants. We think it fits the tradition of this conference series perfectly. The date is set at June 13-18,1993.
