Prizes

The SIAM Activity Group on Linear Algebra sponsors two prizes: the SIAM Activity Group on Linear Algebra Prize and the SIAM Activity Group on Linear Algebra Poster Competition

SIAM Activity Group on Linear Algebra Prize

Established in 1987, the SIAM Activity Group on Linear Algebra Prize (opens in new window) is awarded to the author(s) of the most outstanding paper, as determined by the prize committee, on a topic in applicable linear algebra published in English in a peer-reviewed journal.

2012

The SIAG/LA will present the award at the SIAM Conference on Applied Linear Algebra, to be held in Valencia, Spain, June 18-22, 2012.

Eligibility

Candidate papers must be published in English in a peer-reviewed journal bearing a publication date between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2011. The papers must contain significant research contributions to the field of linear algebra, as commonly defined in the mathematical literature, with direct or potential applications.

Description of the Award

The award consists of a plaque and a certificate containing the citation. The awardee (in the case of multiple authors, at least one of the awardees) is expected to attend the award ceremony and to present the paper at the meeting.
