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

ISSAC是计算机代数界首屈一指的年度会议。符号计算系统的发展在计算机科学和数学中提出了许多有趣的理论问题，ISSAC会议传统上是实现者和理论家的会议场所。此外，随着符号计算系统变得越来越复杂，它们的用户也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的论坛。在场的不仅有理论计算机科学家和系统实现者，还有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。这笔经费用于支持美国学生和研究人员参加本次会议的旅费。

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.
