Honors

On Jan. 12, University of Delaware Police Chief Patrick Ogden was sworn in as an honorary commander with the Delaware Army National Guard 153rd Military Police Company. The intent of the Honorary Commanders Program is to create lasting relationships between civic leaders and military leaders, as well as to increase public awareness and understanding of the Delaware National Guard's mission, both Army and Air. The program aims to build stronger relationships, encourage the flow of ideas and information and further enhance the understanding and appreciation of each other's unique positions. The UD Police Department currently has two officers serving as members of the Delaware National Guard.

Sebastian Cioaba, associate professor of mathematical sciences, has started a four-year term as associate editor for Linear Algebra and its Applications. The journal publishes articles that contribute new information or new insights to matrix theory and finite dimensional linear algebra in their algebraic, arithmetic, combinatorial, geometric or numerical aspects. It also publishes articles that give significant applications of matrix theory or linear algebra to other branches of mathematics and to other sciences. Articles that provide new information or perspectives on the historical development of matrix theory and linear algebra are also welcome. Expository articles that can serve as an introduction to a subject for workers in related areas and that bring one to the frontiers of research are encouraged. Reviews of books are published occasionally as are conference reports that provide an historical record of major meetings on matrix theory and linear algebra. Cioaba also serves on the editorial boards of Linear and Multilinear Algebra and The Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra.
