LAA-Lecture

The LAA Lecture series has been renamed in honor of Hans Schneider.

The LAA Lecture is an annual lecture sponsored by Elsevier, publishers of the journal “Linear Algebra and its Applications”, two of whose editors-in-chief are Richard A. Brualdi (Professor of Mathematics) and the late Hans Schneider (Professor Emeritus of Mathematics). The LAA Lecturer normally has some connection to linear algebra, interpreted very broadly (numerical linear algebra, applied linear algebra, core linear algebra, random matrices, algebras (e.g. Lie algebras), representation theory, signal processing, control theory, …).
