Linear algebra plays a central role in mathematics and applications. The analysis and solution of problems from an amazingly wide variety of disciplines depend on the theory and computational techniques of linear algebra. In turn, the diversity of disciplines depending on linear algebra also serves to focus and shape its development. Some problems have special properties (numerical, structural) that can be exploited. Some are simply so large that conventional approaches are impractical. New computer architectures motivate new algorithms, and fresh ways to look at old ones.

The pervasive nature of linear algebra in analyzing and solving problems means that people from a wide spectrum -- universities, industrial and government laboratories, financial institutions, and many others -- share an interest in current developments in linear algebra. This conference aims to bring them together for their mutual benefit.

The first common-interest ("birds-of-a-feather") discussion sessions proved to be popular at the 1994 conference. The feedback with respect to this innovation has been very positive, and the Organizing Committee has decided to continue it in 1997. Thus, the general format of this conference will involve plenary speakers, minisymposia, and common-interest sessions preceded by related poster displays.
