Some money is available to pay a few students as research assistants; other participants are expected to be supplied by interested industries in the San Francisco Bay Area. Prerequisites for participation in the workshop are 1. An interest in the subject. 2. Proficiency in programming in C or Pascal or Fortran or in assembly language on the VAX or PDP 11 or any other machine on which the proposed standard has been implemented. 3. Competency in numerical analysis and linear algebra and calculus at the upper division undergraduate level. Would-be participants should contact the undersigned. Professor W.
