Fourth International Workshop on Matrix Methods for Statistics

                     Montreal, Quebec, Canada:
              Saturday, July 15-Sunday, July 16, 1995

The Fourth International Workshop on Matrix Methods for Statistics will be
held in Montreal, on Saturday, July 15 and Sunday, July 16, 1995, the
weekend immediately following the Joint Annual Meeting of the Statistical
Society of Canada (SSC) and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics
(IMS). This Workshop is co-sponsored by the International Linear Algebra
Society (ILAS). The Workshop venue, Le Centre Sheraton Hotel (1201 Boulevard
Rene-Levesque West, Montreal), is the same as for the Joint Annual SSC/IMS
Meeting that precedes it.

The purpose of this Workshop is to stimulate research and, in an informal
setting, to foster the interaction of researchers in the interface between
matrix theory and statistics. This Workshop will provide a forum for
statisticians and mathematicians working in the areas of linear algebra and
matrix theory to become better informed of the latest developments and
newest techniques and to interchange ideas with researchers from a wide
variety of countries.
       Contributed papers are welcome! Submit a one-paragraph abstract, in
English or French: no more than 10 lines please! If at all possible use
plain TEX, emTEX, LATEX or Microsoft Word and send the abstract by e-mail
(as a regular ASCII text file or in Binhex) to George Styan at the address
below. All abstracts should arrive by 15 May 1995.

      Registration fees are: ILAS, IMS or SSC Members: C$50/US$45;
non-members: C$65/US$60; students: C$15/US$15. These rates are valid
Through May 15, 1995. A late surcharge of C$15/US$15 will apply
thereafter for all non-student participants.
