University of Linköping, Dept. of Mathematics
In celebration of Åke Björck's 60'th birthday a conference was held at Linköping University, January 9-10, 1995. The theme of the conference was LEAST SQUARES METHODS: Theory, Algorithms and Applications.
The aim of the conference was to celebrate the many contributions of Åke Björck to numerical analysis. This was done by bringing together scientists working in the field of numerical linear algebra to discuss the latest development concerning least squares methods. It is an interesting coincidence that in 1995 it is 200 years since the the least squares method was first used (according to Gauss in his dispute with Legendre).
