Student Success Grant Information
Professor Koev is actively seeking to involve students is his research. Members of underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged.
In the past, these activities, sponsored by the San Jose State University Planning Council, resulted in the transcription and online dissemination of an unpublished manuscript by Ian G. Macdonald, called Hypergeometric Functions I, and in the development of a new course at the Department of Mathematics.

Other teaching
Research
Numerical linear algebra, computational mathematics, applied/computational
multivariate statistical analysis and random matrix theory, computational
algebra.
In particular, the
development of efficient algorithms for accurate computations as they
pertain to the these fields.
Items of interest:
- Developed theory and algorithms for accurate computations with sign
regular, totally nonnegative, polynomial Vandermonde, generalized
Vandermonde, semiseparable, and M-matrices
- Developed the first algorithm for computing the eigenvalues of a
nonsymmetric matrix to high relative accuracy in
O(n3)
time
- Developed the fastest algorithm for computing the
hypergeometric
function of a matrix argument
Awards
