                       INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON
                   LINEAR ALGEBRA AND ITS APPLICATIONS

                           Sept. 28-30, 1987

                            Valencia, Spain

          PURPOSE AND HISTORY OF THE CONFERENCE

          The purpose of the conference  is  to  bring  together  both
          theoretical    and   numerical   linear   algebraists   with
          academicians and research engineers concerned  with  various
          applications of linear algebra.

          This is the fourth conference on the  subject  organized  by
          Portuguese and Spanish mathematicians.  The others were held
          in Coimbra, Portugal in 1982 and 1984 and in Vitoria,  Spain
          in 1983.

          This  time,  a  special  emphasis  will  be  given  to   the
          applications  of  Linear  Algebra  to  Linear  and Nonlinear
          Systems Theory, Control and Signal Processing.
