Gene H. Golub (1932-2007) was the Fletcher Jones Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University and the coauthor of "Matrix Computations". Gerard Meurant, the author of three books on numerical linear algebra, has worked in scientific computing for almost four decades. He is retired from France's Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique.
