  • Gene Golub @ Stanford

    Dear Biomch-L readers,

    As Gene Golub has had a profound influence on some of my own work during the
    past 15 years or so, it is a pleasure to cross-post the Numerical Analysis
    Digest's Special Issue of this week onto Biomch-L. Numerical aspects are of
    tremendous importance in a wide diversity of applications; quatitative Bio-
    mechanics and Movement Science are no exception.

    Herman J. Woltring, Eindhoven/NL

    Subject: Birthday Greetings for Gene Golub

    Gene Golub will celebrate his 60th birthday on February 29, and the
    IMA at the University of Minnesota is hosting a one day symposium in
    his honor.

    I'm compiling a set of birthday greetings / reminiscenses / photos / etc.
    to present to him at the celebration. If you have something to include
    in the collection, please send it to
