Topic #13 ------------- OP-SF NET 8.6 ------------- November 15, 2001 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: Daniela Calvetti Subject: Report from a Conference Honoring Claude Brezinski [We thank the authors (Daniella Calvetti and Lothar Reichel) for their permission to include this report which appeared in NA-digest. ] Numerical Algorithms 2001 The International Conference on Numerical Algorithms dedicated to Claude Brezinski on the occasion of his 60th birthday took place in Marrakesh, Morocco, October 1-5, 2001. The conference was attended by approximately 170 participants from 4 continents, and was characterized by a warm and friendly atmosphere. The week-long meeting featured a wealth of high quality talks on many diverse topics, from Pade' and rational approximation, orthogonal polynomials, extrapolation methods, quadrature, the solution of large linear or nonlinear systems of equations, inverse problems and optimization, reflecting the multifaceted nature of Claude Brezinski's research interests and scientific contributions. During his successful and productive career, Claude Brezinski (co)authored eleven books, over 160 research papers, started three scientific journals and served as a model and an inspirer for a large number of students and colleagues. Many of Claude's students, it was pointed out at the opening of the conference by the rector of the University of Marrakesh, are from Morocco, and Claude's work with these students and continued mentoring has been greatly beneficial to the growth of numerical analysis in Morocco. In addition to attending the lectures, the participants also had several opportunities to experience the magic charm of Morocco thanks to a full social program, which included mint tea in a palm orchard, dinner at an outdoor restaurant with a traditional Moroccan show, an excursion to Essaouira on the Atlantic coast, and a conference banquet complete two belly dancers and reminiscences by Peter Graves-Morris on the topic "My Conferences with Claude."
