Title: A Gentle Introduction to the Kaczmarz Algorithm
Abstract: The Kaczmarz Algorithm is a method for solving systems of linear equations that was published by Polish mathematician Stefan Kaczmarz in 1939. It has remarkable properties as a numerical algorithm, which we'll introduce, including the ability to solve a system of equations without being able to access all of the equations. For example, it can be used to solve a system of equations in a distributed environment. We'll discuss in detail this particular application of the method.
Professor Weber is giving a colloquium talk, The Beauty of the Kaczmarz Algorithm at 3:30–4:20 p.m. and you are welcome to attend.
