Advances in Numerical Linear Algebra: Celebrating the 60th Birthday of Nick Higham, 6-8 July 2022
This international workshop focuses on numerical linear algebra (NLA) and will bring together researchers working in NLA to discuss current developments, challenges in the light of evolving computer hardware and the changing needs of applications, but most importantly to celebrate the 60th birthday of Nick Higham.
