DAVID M. YOUNG
Harvard University \\
Director, Center for Numerical
Analysis
Dr. Young has served on the mathematics faculty since 1958 and on the
computer sciences faculty since the department was established in 1968. His
teaching and research interests include numerical analysis, numerical methods for
solving partial differential equations, and numerical linear algebraŃ specifically,
iterative solution of large sparse linear systems. His recent work has been
directed toward iterative algorithms which are suitable for use on vector and
parallel computers. He has written two books on iterative methods, one in
collaboration with L.A. Hageman, and has coauthored a two-volume numerical
analysis textbook with Robert T. Gregory.
