Description:
Thomas F. Coleman—a leader in optimization and scientific computing, professor at the University of Waterloo, and a SIAM Fellow—passed away on April 20, 2021. Tom served as the Director of the Theory Center at Cornell and then as Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo. His research spanned continuous optimization, combinatorial scientific computing, automatic differentiation, financial optimization, mathematical software, etc. In this session, his wife and collaborator, Yuying Li, and five of his students and colleagues will describe the pioneering contributions that Tom made to these fields in his research.
Workshop on Large Scale Optimization and Applications
Optimization is an important area of applied mathematics that bridges mathematical theory with applications in diverse fields. This Twenty Fourth Annual Midwest Optimization Meeting provides opportunities for researchers in this region with different backgrounds to come together to share their research and teaching experiences, forge collaborations with colleagues from different institutions, and to expose students to applications of mathematical theory. This workshop will focus on bringing together several of the diverse communities working on large scale optimization models that arise from variational problems.
