Southern Regional Algebra Conference 2017: Computational Methods in Algebra and Representation Theory

2017年南方地区代数大会将于2017年3月17日至19日在阿拉巴马州莫比尔的南阿拉巴马大学校园举行。南方地区代数会议是一年一度的周末代数会议，自1988年以来一直存在。它为墨西哥湾沿岸地区的代数学研究界发挥了重要作用。今年会议的重点主题将是代数和表示理论中的计算方法。这次会议将扩大一个已经成功的项目的吸引力，并增加研究生、职业生涯早期数学家、为代表不足的群体服务的机构的研究人员以及主要是本科生机构的教师的参与。会议系列的长期目标是建立一个强大的代数学家网络，促进研究和教育方面的合作。不断增长的计算能力的可用性在代数的许多研究领域带来了新的见解。在这次会议上，两位计算方法领域的顶尖专家将在全体会议上介绍他们的工作。连同正式和非正式的后续讨论，这些将促进计算方法专家和理论研究人员之间的互动。此外，将有二十到三十场讲座，涵盖代数的广泛研究主题。会议网址为：http://www.southalabama.edu/colleges/artsandsci/mathstat/srac/index.html.

The Southern Regional Algebra Conference 2017 will be held March 17-19, 2017 on the campus of the University of South Alabama in Mobile, Alabama. The Southern Regional Algebra Conference is an annual weekend algebra conference that has been in existence since 1988. It serves an important role for the research community in algebra in the Gulf Coast Region. The highlighted theme for this year's conference will be computational methods in algebra and representation theory. This conference will broaden the appeal of an already successful program and increase participation of graduate students, early-career mathematicians, researchers at institutions that serve under-represented groups, and faculty at primarily undergraduate institutions. The long-term goal of the conference series is to build a strong network of algebraists that fosters collaboration in research and education. The availability of ever increasing computational capabilities has led to new insights in many research areas in algebra. At this conference, two leading experts on computational methods will present their work in plenary talks. Together with formal and informal follow-up discussions, these will facilitate interactions between experts on computational methods and theoretical researchers. In addition, there will be twenty to thirty talks covering a wide spectrum of research topics in algebra.
