The 27th annual

Pacific Northwest Numerical Analysis Seminar

October 18, 2014

at

Portland State University. Portland, Oregon

The Fariborz Maseeh Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Portland State University (PSU) is hosting the 27th Pacific Northwest Numerical Analysis Seminar (PNWNAS).

PNWNAS brings together people interested in computational mathematics from academia, government research labs, and industry from around the Pacific Northwest region. PNWNAS has been hosted annually since 1987. This is the first time PNWNAS comes to Portland.

The conference will be held in Smith Memorial Student Union, Room 238, in the PSU campus on Saturday October 18, 2014.

We look forward to seeing you in Portland for the 27th PNWNAS.
