Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) is a professional society dedicated to applied mathematics,computational science,and data science through research,publications,and community. SIAM is the world's largest scientific society devoted to applied mathematics,and roughly two-thirds of its membership resides within the United States. Founded in 1951,the organization began holding annual national meetings in 1954,and now hosts conferences,publishes books and scholarly journals,and engages in advocacy in issues of interest to its membership. Members include engineers,scientists,and mathematicians,both those employed in academia and those working in industry. The society supports educational institutions promoting applied mathematics.

The Hans Schneider Prize in Linear Algebra is awarded every three years by the International Linear Algebra Society. It recognizes research,contributions,and achievements at the highest level of linear algebra and was first awarded in 1993. It may be awarded for an outstanding scientific achievement or for lifetime contributions and may be awarded to more than one recipient. The award honors Hans Schneider,"one of the most influential mathematicians of the 20th Century in the field of linear algebra and matrix analysis.”The prize includes a plaque,certificate and/or a monetary award.
Combinatorial matrix theory is a branch of linear algebra and combinatorics that studies matrices in terms of the patterns of nonzeros and of positive and negative values in their coefficients.
Thomas J. Laffey is an Irish mathematician known for his contributions to group theory and matrix theory. His entire career has been spent at University College Dublin (UCD),where he served two terms as head of the school of mathematics. While he formally retired in 2009,he remains active in research and publishing. The journal Linear Algebra and Its Applications had a special issue to mark his 65th birthday. He received the Hans Schneider Prize in 2013. In May 2019 at UCD,the International Conference on Linear Algebra and Matrix Theory held a celebration to honor Professor Laffey on his 75th birthday.
The International Linear Algebra Society (ILAS) is a professional mathematical society organized to promote research and education in linear algebra,matrix theory and matrix computation. It serves the international community through conferences,publications,prizes and lectures.
