Subject: Open Directory Project, Numerical Analysis
The Open Directory Project is a kind of encyclopaedia of WWW links.
It is one of the main sources for search engines.
When I checked a few minutes ago, it had:
1,825,441 WWW links
25,768 editors
277,729 different categories
Point your web browser to:
http://dmoz.org/
to see the current numbers at the bottom of the home page.
One of those categories is Science:Math:Numerical_Analysis
That category needs an editor.
Any volunteers?
If you look at the category Science:Math you find:

Notice in particular:

Numerical Analysis (39)
The first 3 of these categories each have editors who have collected
links. Numerical Analysis does not have an editor, though there is
an editor for the Software subsection under NA, and most of the 39
links are under this sub-category.
The home page gives details on how to become an editor.
N.B. I am the editor for the Fortran:Source_Code category.

SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS
The Ninth International Workshop on
Matrices and Statistics
In Celebration of C. R. Rao's 80th Birthday
NIWMS-2000
Hyderabad, India: December 9-13, 2000
The Ninth International Workshop on Matrices and Statistics, in
Celebration of C. R. Rao's 80th Birthday, will be held in the
historic walled city of Hyderabad, in Andhra Pradesh, India, on
December 9-13, 2000.
The program will start with a two-day course on recent advances
in Matrix Theory with Special Reference to Applications to
Statistics on Saturday, December 9, and Sunday, December 10, 2000.
This will be followed by the presentation of research papers in
the Workshop proper on Monday, December 11--Wednesday,
December 13, 2000; it is expected that many of these papers will be
published, after refereeing, in a Special Issue on Linear Algebra
and Statistics of Linear Algebra and Its Applications.
Organizing Committees
International Organizing Committee:
R. W. Farebrother (Victoria University of Manchester, UK),
S. Puntanen (University of Tampere, Finland),
G. P. H. Styan (McGill University, Canada; vice-chair)
H. J. Werner (University of Bonn, Germany; chair).
Local Organizing Committee:
R. Bhatia (Indian Statistical Institute, Delhi Centre),
P. Bhimasankaram (Indian Statistical Institute, Hyderabad),
V. Narayana (Indian Statistical Institute, Hyderabad),
M. S. Rao (Osmania University, Hyderabad),
B. Sidharth (Birla Science Centre, Hyderabad),
U. SuryaPrakesh (Osmania University, Hyderabad),
R. J. R. Swamy (Osmania University, Hyderabad),
P. Udayasree (University of Hyderabad),
K. Viswanath (University of Hyderabad).
This Workshop is being organized in Hyderabad by the Indian
Statistical Institute and the Society for Development of
Statistics, in collaboration with the Birla Science Centre,
Osmania University and the University of Hyderabad.
We expect that the Short Course will cover numerical linear
algebra, as well as generalized matrix inverses (including
Campbell-Youla, Drazin, group and Moore-Penrose inverses),
matrix partial orderings (including Loewner, minus and sharp
orders), matrix inequalities (including inequalities for
determinants, traces, eigenvalues and singular values), together
with statistical applications. In addition, we expect that there
will be a session on statistical proofs of matrix results, as
well as sessions on linear statistical models, on random matrices,
and on matrices with special reference to applications in
educational testing, electrical engineering, and to psychometrics.
The Short Course will be followed by the Workshop proper, which
will include the presentation of both invited and contributed
papers on matrices and statistics. There will be also a special
session for papers presented by graduate students. We expect that
the topics to be covered will be similar to those covered by
several Special Issues on Linear Algebra and Statistics of Linear
Algebra and Its Applications.
More details on this Workshop are given in the latest issue of
IMAGE (no. 24, pp. 18-19, April 2000) and are updated regularly
