This grant provides support for a two-day mini-school for graduate students the weekend of June 3-4, 2023, followed by a five-day software development workshop for Macaulay2 the week of June 5-9, 2023. The mini-school and workshop will take place at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. Macaulay2 is a leading computer algebra system for supporting research in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. It is open source, and researchers can extend its functionality by contributing their own code in the form of packages. The workshop will be an opportunity for new users to learn from experienced programmers how to develop high quality packages that will be made publicly available to support future research. The first two days, which will be targeted at graduate students and postdocs with limited Macaulay2 experience, will consist of introductory lectures and computational problem sessions to facilitate a smooth onboarding process for less-experienced participants to the projects of the following week. The workshop will also include professional development activities for early career mathematicians, including the opportunity to present on their research, and a panel discussion on jobs.Workshops that support the intensive development of Macaulay2 packages have an immediate impact on the research programs of both package developers and researchers worldwide. A cursory search for "Macaulay2" as a reference in MathSciNet shows 1643 matches, with 123 from the year 2022 alone. This is just one highlight of the importance of computer experimentation to current work in algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, and adjacent research areas, as well as the role of Macaulay2 in advancing the state of knowledge in these subjects. Maintaining this status requires developing new software packages, enhancing the performance and usability of those that already exist, and training new generations of mathematical scientists. Each component of the mini-school and workshop is designed to meet one or more of these goals.

这笔赠款支持在2023年6月3日至4日的周末为研究生开办一所为期两天的迷你学校，然后在2023年6月5日至9日的一周为Macaulay 2举办为期五天的软件开发研讨会。迷你学校和研讨会将在明尼苏达大学双子城分校举行。Macaulay2是一个领先的计算机代数系统，用于支持交换代数和代数几何的研究。它是开源的，研究人员可以通过以包的形式贡献自己的代码来扩展其功能。研讨会将为新用户提供一个机会，让他们向有经验的程序员学习如何开发高质量的包，这些包将公开提供，以支持未来的研究。头两天将面向具有有限Macaulay2经验的研究生和博士后，将包括入门讲座和计算问题会议，以促进经验较少的参与者顺利进入下周的项目。研讨会还将包括针对早期职业数学家的专业发展活动，包括介绍他们的研究的机会，以及关于工作的小组讨论。支持Macaulay2软件包密集开发的工作室对全球软件包开发人员和研究人员的研究计划都有直接影响。在MathSciNet中粗略搜索“Macaulay2”可以找到1643个匹配项，仅2022年就有123个匹配项。这只是计算机实验对当前代数几何、交换代数和邻近研究领域的工作的重要性的一个突出表现，以及Macaulay2在促进这些学科的知识状态方面的作用。保持这一地位需要开发新的软件包，增强现有软件包的性能和可用性，并培训新一代的数学科学家。迷你学校和研讨会的每个组成部分都是为了实现这些目标中的一个或多个而设计的。会议网站上有更多详细信息：https://www-users.cse.umn.edu/~mahrud/M2Week/.This奖反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
