****** Subject: Summer School, Numer and Appl Linear Algebra, Rome-Moscow, Aug-Sep 2018 The 2018 edition of the Rome-Moscow summer school of Matrix Methods and Applied Linear Algebra will be held during the period 25 August 2018 - 23 September 2018. As for the previous editions, it consists of two parts: August 25 - September 8 (2018) Institute of Numerical Mathematics - Russian Academy of Sciences (INM-RAS) Lomonosov Moscow State University (LMSU), Moscow, Russia September 9 - 23 (2018) Department of Mathematics University of Rome "Tor Vergata" (TVRSU), Rome, Italy. The school is open to advanced undergraduate, master's and PhD students interested in the math subject described in the name of the school. A preliminary list of courses is: - Iterative Methods and Preconditioning for Large and Sparse Linear Systems with Applications, - Matrix methods in network analysis - Modern numerical methods of convex and non convex optimization, - Eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrices: theory and computation - Extrapolation methods and their applications Participation with good profit will be recognized to the students in a certificate that can allow them to obtain university formative credits from their University Department/Institute of origin, provided such Department/Institute recognizes the courses of the school (that will be listed in the certificate) formative for their university curriculum. Students from universities located far from Rome and from Moscow are welcome in the school, and, if sufficient funds will be available, they will receive some contribute to their lodging expences.
