Three Years of Computing with Alan

Join us for ASE-60, where we celebrate the life and the career of Professor Alan Stuart Edelman, on the occasion of his 60th birthday

Over the past three years, Alan has served as an informal advisor for me, meeting every Saturday without fail. (We rescheduled, reluctantly, for the birth of my son.) We've talked all things numerical linear algebra, which I will touch on in this talk. Our conversations have also influenced my other work — and have given me many stories about Alan, which I will share with you as well.
