Gene Golub Around the World Commemoration February 29, 2008 Leuven, Belgium 9:00am - 5:00pm (GMT+1)
ESAT/SCD (EE Dept, K.U.Leuven) and CESAME (Universite Catholique de Louvain) organize an event in memory of Gene H. Golub. This event is part of the Gene Golub Around the World Commemoration, a series of events replicated around the world on February 29, 2008, Gene Golub's birthday, in Stanford, Adelaide, Canberra, Dartmouth, Hong Kong, Delft, Linköping, Oxford, Pisa, Tel Aviv, Tripolis, Urbana-Champaign and Waterloo (see also the Gene Golub's Memorial Page). As a commemoration for Gene Golub, K.U.Leuven - EE Dept. prepared a mosaic picture, composed of the pictures of participants in the similar events organized worldwide. Here you can find the list of attendees and the pictures of the event at the K.U.Leuven.
