Macaulay2 Programming Workshop

该奖项支持参加数学规划系统Macaulay2的研讨会，该研讨会将于2018年4月14日至17日在威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校举行。Macaulay2是一种免费的、开源的技术编程语言，用于研究数学中的计算。Macaulay2是通过“应用程序”模式开发的：个别研究人员编写具有特定功能的软件包，然后通过Macaulay2的网站（免费）提供给其他研究人员使用。这些研讨会提供了一个环境，让一群经验不足的程序员在Macaulay2核心开发人员的支持下学习开发高质量的包。此外，研讨会还包括针对早期职业数学家的专业发展活动，包括就自己的研究发表演讲的机会，以及关于工作和制定研究计划的小组讨论。更多的细节可以在会议网站上找到：https://juliettebruce.github.io/M2-Wisconsin-2018/最近一次统计，Macaulay2有119个内置包，其中许多是在这样的研讨会上开发的。Macaulay2的能力随着社区研究兴趣的增长而增长，这使得Macaulay2能够快速地为新兴领域创建和分配资源。在这个研讨会上，要开发的包将包括：fi模块，复合体的舒尔函子，单纯形方法，随机单项式理想等等。此外，这次会议在Macaulay2研讨会中是独一无二的，因为它将吸引数论和应用代数的研究人员，这些研究人员一直不是Macaulay2发展的传统焦点。这为Macaulay2提供了一个独特的机会来开发对这些社区有用的功能。

This award supports participation in a workshop on the mathematical programming system Macaulay2 to be held April 14-17, 2018 at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Macaulay2 is a free, open-source technical programming language for computation in research mathematics. Macaulay2 is developed through an "app" model: individual researchers write packages with specialized capabilities that are then made available (for free) through Macaulay2's website, for use by other researchers. These workshops provide a setting where groups of less-experienced programmers learn to develop high quality packages with the support of Macaulay2's core developers. In addition, the workshop includes professional development activities for early career mathematicians, including opportunities to speak on their own research, and panel discussions on jobs and developing a research program. More details are available at the conference website: https://juliettebruce.github.io/M2-Wisconsin-2018/ At last count, Macaulay2 had 119 built-in packages, many of which have been developed at workshops such as this. The capabilities of Macaulay2 grow in response to research interests of the community, and this allows Macaulay2 to quickly create and distribute resources for new and emerging fields. At this workshop, the packages to be developed will include: FI-modules, Schur functors of complexes, the simplex method, random monomial ideals, and more. In addition, this meeting will be unique among Macaulay2 workshops because it will engage researchers from number theory and applied algebra, which have not been traditional foci of Macaulay2's development. This presents a unique opportunity for Macaulay2 to develop capabilities that will be useful to those communities.
