The purpose of this communication is to solicit nominations for the first awarding of the Prize. The first SIAM Linear Algebra Prize will be awarded at the Third SIAM Conference on Applied Linear Algebra, which will be held in Madison, Wisconsin May 23-26, l988. It will be awarded for a paper bearing a publication date of 1986 or 1987, containing significant research contributions to the field of linear algebra which have direct or potential applications. The prize will consist of a plaque and certificate; there will be no cash award. At least one of the awardees will be expected to attend the Prize Ceremony and present the winning paper. Also, the Prize will be announced in the SIAM News and the SIAG/LA Newsletter. The Prize Committee consists of the SIAG/LA Vice-Chair (in this case, me) as Chair and four other SIAG/LA members, chosen by SIAM President Bill Gear upon the rcommendation of SIAG/LA Chair Bob Ward. Written or e-mail nominations of outstanding papers should be made as soon as possible, and no later than 12/31/87, to any member of the Prize Committee. The Committee members are: Dave Carlson, Math.Sciences Dept., San Diego State Univ., San Diego, CA 92182 (na.carlson@score.stanford.edu or sdsu.carlson@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu) Ake Bjorck, Math.
