The 15-th Annual East Coast Computer Algebra Day (ECCAD'2008) Shepherd University Shepherdstown, WV, USA May 10, 2008
Call For Participation
ECCAD is
an annual conference that provides opportunities to learn and share new developments and to present research results in the areas of symbolic and mathematical computation. The meeting includes invited talks and contributed poster/software demo sessions, covering the breadth of computer algebra: algorithms, software, and applications.
The $15^{th}$ Annual East Coast Computer Algebra Day (ECCAD'2008) will be held on Saturday, May 10, 2008. It will be hosted by the Department
of Computer Science, Mathematics and Engineering at Shepherd University, located at Shepherdstown, WV, USA, in cooperation with ACM SIGSAM and SIAM.
ECCAD'2008 features five invited talks and a moderated discussion panel on hybrid symbolic-numeric computation. Among our invited speakers is Professor John F. Nash Jr., a Nobel Prize winner and Professor of Mathematics from Princeton University.
Registration Online Registration is available at the Conference Website

Travel Support Pending NSF support, the conference hopes to be able to provide limited
travel support for some participants to attend ECCAD'2008. Graduate students and junior faculty are particularly encouraged to apply. Support may cover only partially travel expenses and lodging for up to two nights. There will be no stipends. Please make sure that the flight has a flight number of a US carrier. If you plan to attend and apply for support, please send your inquiry with an itemized estimate of your expenses to eccad2008 at gmail dot com. Please note that if
your application is approved and if funding is available, you will receive your reimbursement after the meeting. All applications for support are due by May 1, 2008. Support is subject to successful funding.
