Golub <GOLUB@Score.Stanford.EDU> Subject: A NEW SIAM JOURNAL To: na@Score.Stanford.EDU Dear Colleagues, As you may know, the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) will be publishing a new journal, ``Matrix Analysis and Applications.'' The first issue will be available in the first quarter of next year. A diverse and internationally reknown Board of Editors has been established. These include persons from laboratories and universities. Several seminal papers in matrix analysis and linear algebra have been published in SIAM journals. Many of these papers have been of a numerical nature, but a significant number of them have been concerned with general topics in matrix analysis and applications. Why a new journal then? It is our feeling that there is a desire and need for such a journal in the applied mathematics community. I shall be the managing editor and even though my main interest has been in numerical computations, this journal will not have its focus on numerical algorithms. Instead its primary purpose will be to consider developments in matrix analysis which are of relevance in applications. For that reason, there will be many papers (I hope) on such areas as signal processing, control theory, statistics, Markov chains and mathematical biology. I do not exclude numerical mathematics, but I expect that other SIAM journals will carry most of these papers, especially those involving scientific computation. We are fortunate that Bob Plemmons of North Carolina State has agreed to be the associate managing editor. Bob has made many contributions to theoretical linear algebra as well as matrix computations. I should say a word about the title of the journal. We have deliberately used the word matrix in the title, so that the journal would have a broad appeal to those persons who are interested in applications. We all know, of course, that linear and matrix algebra are isomorphic, but to the broader scientific community, the word matrix implies concrete applications. I do hope you or your organization will subscribe to the journal. I would be happy to receive your manuscripts or you can send them directly to the SIAM office in Philadelphia. If you have any questions or comments send me an e-mail msg or call me. GENE ------------------------------ End of NA Digest ************************** -------
