Yousef Saad

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yousef Saad (* 1950 ) is an Algerian - American mathematician who studies numerical linear algebra. He is a professor at the University of Minnesota .

Saad studied mathematics at the University of Algiers with a degree in 1970 and received his doctorate in 1974 ( Thèse de 3eme Cycle ) and 1983 ( Doctorat d'Etat ) at the University of Grenoble under Francoise Chatelin (method numeriques pour la resolution de problemes matriciels de grandes dimensions). From 1981 to 1983 he was at Yale University , 1983/84 professor at the University of Tizi-Ouzou in Algeria and from 1986 to 1988 Associate Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign . In 1990 he became a professor at the University of Minnesota.

In 1986 he and Martin H. Schultz introduced the GMRES method , an iterative Krylov method for solving large systems of linear equations, which can also be non-symmetrical.
