THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
ON NUMERICAL ALGEBRA AND SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING (NASC06)

Beijing, October 22 (Sun.)--25 (Wed.), 2006

Webpage: http://lsec.cc.ac.cn/~NASC06/

NASC is an international conference organized by 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 closely related fields.

The topics of NASC06 include, but not limited to:solutions of linear and nonlinear equations;least-squares problems; computations of eigenvalue problems;parallel computations; constructions and analyses of preconditioners; methods and theories of structured matrices;and applications of numerical algebraic techniques and algorithms.
