The Householder Prize is given every three years for the best thesis in numerical linear algebra, as judged by a committee. The prize was established at the 1969 Gatlinburg Symposium (now renamed the Householder Symposium) to recognize early-career researchers for their outstanding contributions to numerical linear algebra. The prize is named after Alston S. Householder. Recipients receive a cash prize given to them in various currencies that roughly represents the nationalities of the attendees of the symposium. In addition, the awardee(s) is asked to give a plenary lecture on short notice during the Householder Symposium.
