Charles Van Loan
Charles Francis Van Loan (* around 1946 in New Jersey ) is an American mathematician and computer scientist who deals with numerical linear algebra, especially matrix calculations.
Van Loan studied at the University of Michigan with a bachelor's degree in 1969, the master's degree in 1970 and doctorate in Cleve Moler 1973 on singular value decomposition (Generalized Singular Values with Algorithms and Applications). After post-doctoral studies at the University of Manchester , he became a professor at Cornell University in 1975 . From 1999 to 2006 he headed the computer science faculty. From 1998 he was a Ford professor. For 2018 he was selected as John von Neumann Lecturer .
He and Gene Golub wrote a standard work on matrix calculations.
