Special Western Canada Linear Algebra meeting

This workshop will bring together researchers working in various areas that include matrix analysis, combinatorial matrix theory, applied and numerical linear algebra, combinatorics, operator theory and operator algebras. Further, because of linear algebra's ubiquity and utility, the discipline enjoys a continuing dialogue with numerous areas of application which include transportation, communication, optimizations, and many areas of modern mathematics. The highlight of the meeting is the recognition of the outstanding contributions to the areas of research by Professor Peter Lancaster, the founding member of the series meeting, at his 88th birthday.
