Numerical Analysis Seminar: The Top-Ten Computational Algorithms in Science and Engineering

Please note that this page is old.
Check in the VVZ for a current information.
Dozenten Daniel Kressner, Manuel Torrilhon
Ort HG E 33.5
Zeit Do 15:15-17:00
Vorbesprechung Do 21.02.2008
Beschreibung In 2000, Jack Dongarra and Francis Sullivan published a list of arguably the top ten algorithms of the (previous) century. Each of these algorithms had a profound impact on science, leading to an abundance of variations and extensions. The aim of this seminar is to present entries from this list and discuss the mathematical principles behind the algorithms.

Talks can be given in German or English, using the blackboard or a projector. Before the seminar, the slides or a handout (in case of a blackboard presentation) must be shown to the lecturers.
