Abstract

Symbolic computation software allows mathematicians,
scientists, engineers, or educators to deal with
elaborate calculations using a computer. The applications
range from introducing the experimental method in fields of
pure mathematics to practical applications, for instance,
in cryptology, robotics, or signal theory. The
software includes mainstream commercial products
such as Maple or Mathematica and highly specialized,
public domain systems such as CoCoa, Macaulay2, or Singular.

Symbolic computation software implements a variety
of sophisticated algorithms on polynomials, matrices,
combinatorial structures, and other mathematical
objects in a multitude of different dense, sparse,
or implicit (black box) representations.

The subject of the seminar was innovation in algorithms
and software, bringing algorithm designers,
software builders, and software users together.
