Abstract

In 2000, Jack Dongarra and Francis Sullivan published a list of arguably the top ten algorithms of the (previous) century. Each of these algorithms had a profound impact on science, leading to an abundance of variations and extensions. The aim of this seminar is to present entries from this list and discuss the mathematical principles behind the algorithms.
