Purpose

Today, in the midst of a computational revolution, the subject of Linear Algebra is more important than ever. As the focus of the scientific community is gradually shifting back to discrete models, education in Linear Algebra is singularly responsible for producing students who are prepared for the change upon entering the research arena and industry. The workshop will address modern challenges in the teaching of Linear Algebra and different ways to present the subject to a diverse audience. The workshop will provide an opportunity to interact with today's top experts.
