Final Call for Papers
--------------------------

                       SYNASC 2017

              19th International Symposium on
     Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing
           September 21-24, 2017, Timisoara, Romania
               http://synasc.ro/2017

           In honor of the anniversaries of
                  Stefan Maruster  (80)
                  Bruno Buchberger (75)
                  Tetsuo Ida (70)

SYNASC aims to stimulate the interaction between the two scientific communities of symbolic and numeric computing and to exhibit interesting applications of the areas both in theory and in practice. The choice of the topic is motivated by the belief of the organizers that the dialogue between the two communities is very necessary for accelerating the progress in making the computer a truly intelligent aid for mathematicians and engineers.
