The Ninth Workshop on
Numerical Ranges and Numerical Radii

Department of Mathematics, College of William and Mary
July 19 (Saturday) - July 21 (Monday), 2008.

Scientific program will start July 19 afternoon at Jones Hall 302.

The 9th Workshop on "Numerical Ranges and Numerical Radii" will be held at the College of William and Mary from July 19 - 21, 2008, in conjunction with IWOTA 2008, which will also take place at William and Mary. The workshop is endorsed by the International Linear Algebra Society. Also, the 18th International Symposium on Mathematical Theory and Networks and Systems (MTNS) will be held at Virginia Tech at Blacksburg, July 28-August 1, 2008. Participants may consider coming to WONRA, IWOTA, and / or MTNS.

Purpose

The purpose of the workshop is to stimulate research and foster interaction of researchers interested in the subject. The informal workshop atmosphere will facilitate the exchange of ideas from different research areas and, hopefully, the participants will leave informed of the latest developments and newest ideas. One may visit the website WONRA to see some background about the subject and previous meetings.
