The International Workshops on Lattice QCD and Numerical Analysis first started in 1995. The aim is to bring together applied mathematicians and theoretical physicists as well as to stimulate the exchange of ideas between leading experts in the fields of Lattice QCD and numerical analysis. As the scale of computational resources available for lattice quantum field theory calculations steadily increases, the ambitions of practitioners has also kept pace in the desire for more realistic calculations of a widening variety of physical observables. Many numerical methods discussed at the workshops have been integrated into current large scale computations, generating ensembles of configurations with such a substantial reduction in overall cost per configuration that computational requirements are fairly balanced between configuration generation and measurement of observables.

Famous quotes containing the words numerical and/or analysis:
“There is a genius of a nation, which is not to be found in the numerical citizens, but which characterizes the society.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The spider-mind acquires a faculty of memory, and, with it, a singular skill of analysis and synthesis, taking apart and putting together in different relations the meshes of its trap. Man had in the beginning no power of analysis or synthesis approaching that of the spider, or even of the honey-bee; but he had acute sensibility to the higher forces.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
