A workshop sponsored by the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) will take place at UBC in early August. The theme is numerical linear algebra and related areas of applications. The meeting will feature two short courses, and a mixture of survey talks and advanced talks. Students and postdocs are strongly encouraged to participate in this workshop.
We have a great list of speakers and about 70 registered participants and speakers so far. There are about 10 more spots left. If you are interested to register (no registration fee) and/or learn more about the workshop please point your browser to the workshop Webpage:

Topics that are covered include iterative and direct solvers, preconditioning techniques, eigenvalue problems, numerical solution of ill-posed problems, PDE constrainted optimization, Algebraic Multigrid, and a variety of applications.
