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.
