Householder Award
-
Nominations are solicited for the Alston S. Householder Award XV (2014). The award will be given to the author of the best dissertation in numerical linear algebra. The PhD degree must have been earned between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2013.
The dissertation must have fulfilled all requirements for a US PhD degree or equivalent. For candidates from countries in which a formal dissertation is not normally written at that level, an equivalent piece of work may be submitted.
The term numerical linear algebra is intended to describe those parts of mathematical research that have both linear algebraic aspects and numerical content or implications. Thus, for example, a dissertation concerned with the numerical solution of differential equations or the numerical solution of an optimization problem will be eligible if linear algebra is central to the research contribution.
Application:
The candidate's research supervisor or sponsor must submit a copy of the dissertation and an appraisal through the link below. At least one other letter of recommendation supporting the nomination is required. All materials must be submitted in pdf format and be received no later than January 31, 2014.

History:
The Householder Award is given every three years. It was established at the 1969 Gatlinburg Symposium (now renamed the Householder Symposium) to recognize the outstanding contributions of Alston S. Householder (1904-1993) to numerical analysis and linear algebra.
