Welcome

It is our great pleasure to announce this one-day Workshop on Linear Algebra and its Applications, jointly hosted by theDept. of Mathematical Physics and the Hamilton Institute at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth.

Coinciding with both Hamilton’s quaternion celebration (October 16th), and the retirement of Prof. Abraham Berman, the workshop brings together some of the leading theory and applications oriented researchers from Ireland and abroad.

We hope you will join us for what will be both an exciting and educational set of lectures, to be held on 17 October 2011 at the Hamilton Institute.

There is no registration fee and all are welcome to attend. To facilitate planning, those wishing to attend the workshop should please contact Rosemary Hunt.

This meeting is part of a workshop series organised by the Hamilton Institute in recent years. It targets mathematical aspects of network science, with the main focus being on applications in communication networks and social networks. The aim is to bring together researchers in an environment that encourages interaction and discussion.

The range of topics covered will be broad, and the workshop should be of interest to anyone working in the theory or applications of network science.
