Goal

Robert C. Thompson Matrix Meeting (formerly Southern California Matrix Meeting) is an informal one-day meeting to encourage the interaction and collaboration of researchers on matrices, including application, computation and theory. These meetings were originally initiated by Robert C. Thompson and Steve Pierce in the mid eighties. The attendees in 2004 voted to change the name to honor Bob, deceased in 1995. Previous meetings include

Format

There will be time slots for 20 minute and 30 minute talks. If you would like to give a talk, please email Jane Day (day@math.sjsu.edu ), Wasin So ( so@math.sjsu.edu ), or Tin-Yau Tam (tamtiny@auburn.edu)  and no later than March 1, 2007, also please include your title and abstract.

Registration

There is no registration fee.

Post-meeting Event

A complimentary dinner will be served after the meeting, to which all participants and their guests are cordially invited. If you plan to attend the dinner, please let Tin-Yau Tam (tamtiny@auburn.edu) know by March 12, 2007.
