SUMMARY:A Look into the Fascinating World of Matrix Computations - Zoltán
  Szenczi\, Churchill College
DTSTART:20150304T194000Z

CONTACT:Matthew Ireland
DESCRIPTION:Matrices are used widely across a number of areas in Computer 
 Science and Physics. There are many details to be explored regarding the m
 echanics of matrix computations\, and it is also interesting to understand
  the implications of such computations in the real world.\n\nIn the first 
 part of the talk\, I will give explanations of some very interesting algor
 ithms related to matrix multiplication. This includes the Strassen algorit
 hm which can be useful in practice\, followed by the key ideas behind theo
 retically more efficient methods. Then\, I will talk about the different t
 ypes of decompositions of matrices and how each of them can be used\, goin
 g into the details for some more relevant ones.\n\nThe talk should give yo
 u a clear idea of some of the most important matrix computation algorithms
  and a good understanding of their applications in general.
