The term "matrix theory" is broadly interpreted and is meant to include those parts of the many subjects that have stimulated research about matrices over the years. In an effort to maximize the number of interested parties who can attend, the cost of attending is being kept to a minimum. Centrally located Salt Lake City International Airport is nearby and is serviced be most major US carriers. A limited number of on-campus housing slots will be available at a very low cost, along with an inexpensive meal plan of good quality. Nearby motels will offer a very affordable alternative. There will be no registration fee as such, although a nominal and optional donation to the Society and for daily refreshments will be solicited. In addition, within easy driving distance from Provo lie a large fraction of the many spectacular attractions of the Rocky Mountain West. In addition to Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Zion Park are a host of lesser known, but nearly as enjoyable parks. A tour on either side of the meeting would be worth it by itself. A special concentration at the meeting on nonnegative matrices and related topics is to be modestly funded by the US NSA. Additional subsidy is being graciously provided by Brigham Young University and the time, effort and research funds of the organizers. We hope that you can make the meeting a success with your attendance. Please contact Wayne Barrett or any other organizer by electronic mail or in writing with your interest in attending. We hope you will do this soon, as this would be helpful for planning the program. 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 in a normal refereeing procedure. Special editors of this issue are Wayne Barrett, Danny Hershkowitz, and Don Robinson. The organizers of the meeting are: Wayne Barrett Danny Hershkowitz Charlie Johnson Dept. Mathematics Dept.
