"Posted by Cleve Moler, August 31, 2024
The NA-Digest is an electronic newsletter for the numerical analysis and scientific software community. The NA-Digest is one of world's first examples of social networking. The Digest is one of the forces that makes our community a living, viable community.
The Digest is part of NA-Net, which also includes Netlib, a collection of mathematical software, papers, and databases.
For its first forty years, the NA-Digest has had only four editors. Now, we are adding two more. As we do that, I would like to take a personal look back at the history of the NA-Digest."

Subject: Finding Degenerate Eigenvectors

Hi, netters,

I am looking for an algorithm, or better a subroutine I can call,
to find all DEGENERATE eigenvectors of a general real or complex
matrix of size < 10 x 10. I have tried those subroutines for GENERAL
real or complex matrices in LINPACK, EISPACK and IMSL. They give me
correct eigenvalues and both left and right eigenvectors when the
matrix is not degenerate, i.e when all eigenvectors are different.
However, they give me at best identical eigenvectors for the degenerated
eigenvalue, which is incomplete for my problem; or something does not
make sense at all. I searched LINPACK and EISPACK for the keyword
"degenerate". Nothing appropriate was found.
If any of you have some suggestion, please e-mail it to me as I do not
read netnews as often as I SHOULD. Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,
Xiao-He Zhang || xiaohe@abbott.caltech.edu | xiaohe@caltech.bitnet

Subject: Numerical Analysis Course Numbering

I belong to a Math Sciences Department which includes as separate
groups: Math, Applied Math, Statistics, Math Education and Computer
Science. I teach Numerical Analysis and am a member of the computer
science group (as a developer of mathematical software this is where
I felt most comfortable). In response to a department review from last
year, we are renaming computer science courses within the department
as CS ###, primarily to aid students in CS whose transcripts don't
immediately reflect CS. I have always felt Numerical Analysis should
be placed in between Applied Math and Computer Science and would like
the course double numbered, i.e. the same course would appear in the
catalog as CS ### and MATH ###. The computer science group is in favor
of this, some in the math groups are vehemently opposed, offerring
the justification that 'other schools' put Numerical Analysis in the
Math Department.

I would really like to hear the opinion of other practicing Numerical
Analysts on how things are done at your University. Perhaps also, how
you wish things were done at your University.

Thanks,
