James H. Wilkinson (1919-1986) was a British mathematician and computer scientist. He made significant contributions to numerical analysis and numerical linear algebra. Wilkinson developed algorithms and techniques for solving problems in numerical mathematics, including matrix eigenvalue problems. His work has had a lasting impact on scientific computing and numerical analysis.
Research in numerical analysis to facilitate the use of the high-speed digital computer, having received special recognition for his work in computations in linear algebra and "backward" error analysis.
James Hardy Wilkinson FRS was a prominent figure in the field of numerical analysis, a field at the boundary of applied mathematics and computer science particularly useful to physics and engineering. In 1970 he won the ACM Turing Award.
