The Fifth International Conference on Numerical Algebra and Scientific Computing (NASC 2014) will be held at Department of Mathematics
Tongji University Shanghai, P.R. China from October 25 (Sat.) to October 29 (Wed.), 2014

NASC is an international conference organized by the Chinese numerical algebra group starting from 2006. The conference highlights recent advances in theoretical, computational and practical aspects of linear and nonlinear numerical algebra. The aim of the conference is to gather numerical algebra and scientific computing experts to exchange ideas and discuss future developments and trends of these related fields.

The topics of NASC 2014 include, but are not limited to: solutions of linear and nonlinear equations; least-squares problems; computations of eigenvalue
problems; tensor decompositions and computations; parallel computations; constructions and analyses of preconditioners; methods and theories of structured matrices; and applications of numerical algebraic techniques and algorithms.

An important event during the conference is the award of the Applied Numerical Algebra (ANA) Prize which is awarded to the two best papers by young Chinese
scientists working on numerical algebra and scientific computing.

The registration fee for the conference is USD 350 (USD 300 for each spouse), which should be paid in cash at the conference. It includes lunches during
the conference, a banquet, and the conference proceedings.
