Symbolic Computational Algebra 2002 Conference

我们建议在2002年7月举办一个为期五天的会议，讨论符号计算在代数、几何和分析中的使用，在此之前，将为研究生和非专业人员举办两天的研讨会。这将是美国和加拿大的联合活动，将在加拿大安大略省伦敦市的西安大略大学举行。我们向美国国家科学基金会申请资金，为来自美国的与会者提供旅行和支持费用。这次会议的目的是将来自广泛领域的研究人员聚集在一起，进行符号计算。主题包括计算代数(包括交换和非交换)和代数几何、求解多项式方程、微分代数、编码理论和几何不变量理论。会议将包括大约10个一小时的演讲和20个半小时的演讲。这一小时的演讲将面向非专业人士的听众，特别是希望了解该领域的学生和研究人员。较短的会谈将旨在讨论该领域的当前发展。此外，私人投资者计划在会议开始前举行为期两天的工作坊，介绍编码理论和几何不变量理论。研讨会将面向研究生和非专业人员。会议的范围、计划和组织仿照了AMS-IMS-SIAM联合夏季研究会议符号计算：求解代数、几何和工程中的方程，该会议于2000年6月在芒特霍利奥克学院举行，由PIS组织。芒特霍利奥克会议的灵感来自于1998年秋季在MSRI举行的关于代数、几何和分析中的符号计算的特别学期。拟议中的会议将作为一个平台，展示自2000年夏天以来取得的最令人兴奋的成果。我们已经批准了来自菲尔德研究所、安大略省计算代数研究中心(ORCCA)和西安大略大学的资助。组织者计划特别努力吸引研究生和新近的博士，以及在会议范围内的领域工作的女性。申请资金的很大一部分将用于支持来自美国的研究生和新近获得博士学位的学生。

We propose running a five day conference in July 2002 on the use of symbolic computation in algebra, geometry, and analysis, preceded by a two day workshop for graduate students and non-specialists. This will be a joint U.S. and Canadian event and will take place at the University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada. We request funds from the NSF to provide travel and support costs for participants from the U.S.The conference is intended to bring together researchers from a broad variety of areas within symbolic computation. The topics included will be computational algebra (both commutative and non-commutative) and algebraic geometry, solving polynomial equations, differential algebra, coding theory and geometric invariant theory.The conference will consist of approximately 10 one hour talks and 20 half hour talks. The one hour talks will be designed for an audience of nonspecialists, in particular, for students and researchers wishing to learn about the area. The shorter talks will be designed to discuss current developments in the field. In addition, the PIs plan to hold a two-day workshop before the start of the conference featuring coding theory and geometric invariant theory. The workshop will be aimed at graduate students and non-specialists.The conference is modeled in its scope, program and organization after the AMS-IMS-SIAM joint summer research conference Symbolic Computation: Solving Equations in Algebra, Geometry, and Engineering that was held at Mount Holyoke College in June 2000 and organized by the PIs. The Mount Holyoke meeting in turn was inspired by the special semester on Symbolic Computation in Algebra, Geometry and Analysis that was held at MSRI in the Fall of 1998. The proposed conference will serve as a platform to present the most exciting results obtained since the summer of 2000.We already have approved funding from the Fields Institute, Ontario Research Center for Computational Algebra (ORCCA), and the University of Western Ontario. The organizers plan to make a special effort to attract graduate students and recent Ph.Ds, as well as women working in the areas within the scope of the conference. A substantial portion of the requested funds would be used for support of graduate students and recent PH.Ds from the U.S.
