Система компьютерной алгебры GAP - 1st De Brun Workshop on Computational Algebra
Second Announcement: First De Brun Workshop on Computational Algebra
From July 21 to August 1, 2008, the De Brun Centre for Computational Algebra at NUI Galway, Ireland, runs a workshop consisting of the following four 5-lecture courses.
Gerhard Hiss (Aachen): Computational Representation Theory
John McKay (Concordia): The sporadic groups - past, present and possible future
Mike Stillman (Cornell): Computing cohomology
in algebraic geometry
Bernd Sturmfels (Berkeley): Tropical Algebra
The lecture courses are aimed at mathematicians with a general interest in computational aspects of algebra, but who don't necessarily have expertise in the topics of the courses.
Lecture courses will take place in the mornings, and participants will have the opportunity to contribute talks on their research in the afternoons. The first lecture will be at 10am on Tuesday 22 July, and the last lecture will
end at 12.30 on Friday 1 August. There will be a Workshop trip to the Burren, Co. Clare in the first week, and to the Galway Races in the second week. There will be no lectures on the Saturday afternoon and Sunday.
The workshop is supported by Science Foundation Ireland. Some funding towards the cost of accommodation is available for a limited number of graduate students and postdocs.
There is no registration fee. For registration details and further information
