International Symposium in Symbolic and Algebraic Computation; Kiev, Ukraine; July 1993

ISAC是计算机代数界最重要的年度会议。开发符号计算系统在计算机科学和数学中都提出了许多有趣的理论问题，而ISSAC会议传统上一直是实施者和理论家的会场。此外，随着符号计算系统变得更加复杂，其用户的反应是以更复杂的方式使用它们。ISSAC会议为符号系统的设计者和使用者之间的有益互动提供了一个科学论坛。因此，不仅有理论上的计算机科学家和系统实现者出席，而且非常精通数学的物理学家、工程师、天体物理学家、地球物理学家和其他数学科学家也出席了会议。这笔赠款是为了支持参加这次会议的美国学生和研究人员的旅行。

ISSAC is the premier annual conference of the computer algebra community. Developing a symbolic computation system raises many interesting theoretical issues in both computer science and mathematics, and the ISSAC conferences have traditionally been a meeting ground for implementors and theoreticians. Furthermore, as symbolic computation systems have become more sophisticated, their users have responded by employing them in more complex ways. The ISSAC meetings have provided a scientific forum for beneficial interaction between the designers of symbolic systems and the users of them. So not only are the theoretical computer scientists and systems implementors present, but so are very mathematically sophisticated physicists, engineers, astrophysicists, geophysicists, and other mathematical scientists. This grant is to support the travel of American students and researchers to participate in this conference.
