East Coast Computer Algebra Day, Northeastern University, Boston, MA, May 3, l997

为期一天的会议，称为东海岸计算机代数日，将于1997年5月3日星期六在波士顿东北大学举行。这次会议的目的是激发人们对计算机代数技术方面的兴趣，并增进他们对计算机代数技术方面的了解，为该地区那些对计算机代数感兴趣或有兴趣变得更加活跃的人提供一种方式，以一种廉价和方便的方式相互见面。这次会议将比ISSAC年度会议更加非正式，有充足的时间进行非结构化互动。将特别鼓励该区域的研究生参与宣传活动，特别是通过邀请他们参与招贴会议，以及通过旅行支助。此外，为研究生提供旅行和住宿的资助，使这成为吸引更多女性和少数族裔进入计算机代数社区的重要机会。对于东海岸的许多专业人士和研究生来说，目前的会议是两年来最容易与计算机代数社区的重要部分会面的机会。ISSAC和iMACS(大型计算机代数会议)去年在欧洲举行，并将于1997年夏天在夏威夷举行。东北大学位于波士顿市内，拥有极佳的公共交通，包括连接公共汽车、火车和飞机的地铁。三位受邀的演讲者将主持会议，并将有助于吸引与会者。由社区贡献的受邀演讲和海报会议将涵盖计算机代数的广度：算法、软件和应用程序。

A one day meeting, called the East Coast Computer Algebra Day, will be held at Northeastern University, Boston, on Saturday, May 3, 1997. The purpose of this meeting is to stimulate interest in and enhance understanding of the technical aspects of computer algebra, by providing a way for those in the region who are active or interested in becoming more active in computer algebra to meet with each other in an inexpensive and easily accessible way. This meeting will be more informal than the annual ISSAC meetings, with ample time for unstructured interaction. Participation by the region's graduate students will be particularly encouraged through special invitation to contribute to the poster sessions, and through travel support. In addition, the offer to fund travel and hotel for graduate students makes this is an important opportunity to attract more women and minorities into the computer algebra community. For many professionals and graduate students on the East Coast, the current meeting represents the most accessible opportunity over two years to meet with a significant portion of the computer algebra community. Both ISSAC and IMACS (major computer algebra meetings) were held in Europe last year, and will be held in Hawaii in summer, 1997. Northeastern University is inside Boston itself, with excellent mass transportation, including subway connections to bus, train and plane. Three invited speakers will anchor the meeting and will help attract participants. The invited talks and poster sessions contributed by the community will cover the breadth of computer algebra: algorithms, software, and applications.
