CBMS/NSF Conference on Fast Direct Solvers, June 2014
Dartmouth College, June 23 - 27, 2014

This website is set up to provide convenient links to the lecture slides, and to supporting material (bibliographic notes, tutorial codes, etc). The main conference website is here.
The lectures will be self-contained, and will in principle assume only knowledge of basic material about elliptic PDEs, undergraduate numerical analysis, and linear algebra. In practice, some prior familiarity with "fast" algorithms such as the Fast Multipole Method (FMM), would be helpful (for a brief primer, see this short course and this encyclopedia entry).
A monograph providing more detail on the material presented is under preparation, and will be published through SIAM, hopefully in late 2015.
Detailed information about the lectures can be found here, and video recordings are available on youtube, but for convenience, we provide quick links to the lecture slides here:
