This will be a general international meeting open to all with an interest in matrix theory. There will be special concentration on nonnegative matrices and related topics. Accommodation is available for up to 5 nights (Aug. 11/12 through 15/16) in on-campus dormitories and a meal plan is available in an on-campus cafeteria on Aug. 12,14,15 (the meal plan includes no meals on Sunday). The joint cost of accommodation and meals is $74.90 double occupancy (you may wish to select your roommate). Alternatively accommodation and meals may be purchased separately. The cost of a dormitory room is $10 per night double occupancy. For those wishing to stay off campus, the 3-day meal package is $31.20, or for the same package excluding breakfast $23.25. Single meals may also be purchased at the cafeteria. Dormitory space is limited and will be assigned in the order that requests are received once invited speakers have been accomodated. If you would prefer single occupancy, you may so indicate on the housing form. Requests for single occupancy will be granted later if space is available. On-campus accomodation and meals are of high quality for an academic institution. Please note that some regulations of religious origin govern residence in BYU dormitories, such as prohibition of alcoholic beverages and smoking. Coffee or tea are not served on campus. Lodging and meals are availbale off-campus within walking distance. Please indicate on the registration form if you would like information on off-campus housing. There will be no registration fee. An optional luncheon buffet (cost $15) and informal Sunday afternoon mountain outing are scheduled for August 13 at a local resort. Provo is located about 50 miles south of Salt Lake City. Salt Lake International Airport is well serviced by most major US airlines, and reasonably priced limousine service is readily available to and from Provo (information will be sent to those who register). Salt Lake City is also serviced by Amtrak. Within easy driving distance from Provo (less than one day) lie many of the spectacular attractions of the Rocky Mountain West. We wish to encourage contributed 15-20 minute talks, subject to the unavoidable limitations of space and time. Please let us know if you wish to give such a talk. We shall also have some invited 30-40 minute talks. More details on the program will be available at a later stage. A special issue of Linear Algebra and its Applications will be devoted to the meeting. This issue will contain only papers that meet the publication standards of the journal, and that will be approved by normal refereeing procedure. Papers should be submitted in triplicate by November 1989 to one of the special editors of this issue, who are Wayne Barrett, Daniel Hershkowitz, and Donald Robinson. We would appreciate it if you could let us know by April 30 if you are planning to participate. Please return the enclosed registration form to James R. Weaver (ILAS treasurer), and the enclosed housing/mealplan form to the Office of General Services at Brigham Young University. If you need further information, please contact Wayne Barrett (mailing address on registration form, or email address: barrettw@byuvax.bitnet). We very much hope that you can participate in this Inaugural Conference, as you presence will help to make it a success. We shall try to make it worthwhile and enjoyable for you and look forward to seeing you there. We also invite you to become a member of the International Linear Algebra Society. The annual membership fee is $12. However, as we recognize that some potential members may have difficulties in paying the fee, we shall gladly waive it upon request. Dues paid in 1989 also cover 1990, though a voluntary contribution of $12 to cover the second year will be greatly appreciated. Thereafter the fee will be annual.
