In particular, we argue that clever algorithms and good libraries while valuable do not complete the modern picture.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003EAlan Edelman is a Professor of Applied Mathematics, and member of MIT\u0026rsquo;s Computer Science \u0026amp; AI Lab. He has received many prizes for his work on mathematics and computing, and is a founder of Interactive Supercomputing, Inc. and Julia Computing, Inc. He received the B.S. \u0026amp; M.S. degrees in mathematics from Yale in 1984, and the Ph.D. in applied mathematics from MIT in 1989 under the direction of Lloyd N. Trefethen. Edelman\u0026rsquo;s research interests include Julia, high-performance computing, numerical computation, linear algebra and random matrix theory. He has consulted for Akamai, IBM, Pixar, and NKK Japan among other corporations.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"CSE Distinguished Lecture Series: Alan Edelman "}],"uid":"28150","created_gmt":"2018-10-11 12:51:48","changed_gmt":"2018-10-11 12:53:25","author":"Birney Robert","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2018-10-19T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2018-10-19T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2018-10-19T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2018-10-19 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2018-10-19 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2018-10-19 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"612609":{"id":"612609","type":"image","title":"Edelman","body":null,"created":"1539262340","gmt_created":"2018-10-11 12:52:20","changed":"1539262340","gmt_changed":"2018-10-11 12:52:20","alt":"","file":{"fid":"233198","name":"edelman.png","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/edelman.png","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/edelman.png","mime":"image\/png","size":57536,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/edelman.png?itok=TRdRe05K"}}},"media_ids":["612609"],"groups":[{"id":"47223","name":"College of Computing"},{"id":"50877","name":"School of Computational Science and Engineering"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"654","name":"College of Computing"},{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"173446","name":"CSE.
