Fields Institute Thematic Program on Computer Algebra (Fall 2015)*

Fields Institute Thematic Program on Computer Algebra (Fall Term 2015) 
Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to participate in the Fields Institute Thematic Program on 
Computer Algebra being held this year from July to December 2015 at the 
Fields Institute in Toronto.

The thematic program focuses on current and emerging areas of importance 
in computer algebra: symbolic linear algebra, algorithms for algebraic 
and semi-algebraic geometry, hybrid symbolic-numeric computing, 
algorithms for differential algebra and symbolic combinatorial, and 
certified algorithms.

Information on the semester can be found at

http://www.fields.utoronto.ca/programs/scientific/15-16/computeralgebra/

with the site being regularly updated. Registration for the workshops is 
now open at

http://www.fields.utoronto.ca/cgi-bin/register?form_selection=computeralgebra


*Events *

The program takes place from July until December of 2015 with a 
highlight being three workshops in leading areas of computer algebra.  
The three workshops and their dates are

   September 14 - 19: Workshop on Symbolic Combinatorics and 
Computational Differential Algebra

   October   26 - 31: Workshop on Linear Computer Algebra and 
Symbolic-Numeric Computation

   December   7 - 16: Workshop on Algebra, Geometry and Proofs in 
Symbolic Computation

The program includes the Coxeter Lecture Series, a series of three talks 
being given during the last week of October by Victor Shoup of the 
Courant Institute. In addition we expect that informal talks will occur 
throughout the term as visitors and students arrive for their research 
stays.


*Postdoctoral Fellowships and Support *

Applications are invited for postdoctoral fellowship positions during 
the Thematic Program. The fellowships provide for a period of engagement 
in research and participation in the activities of the Fields Institute. 
They may be offered in conjunction with partner universities, through 
which a further period of support may be possible.  Additional 
information including application procedures can be found at the 
programs website.


*Visitor Support *

There are a number of openings for the support of researchers who wish 
to stay for longer periods - two weeks or more - during the thematic 
program.  Please send all requests including dates and additional 
information to glabahn at cs.uwaterloo.ca.

Postdoctoral fellows and PhD students from other centers are encouraged 
to attend.  Support is available for several fellows and students. 
Please send any such request to glabahn at cs.uwaterloo.ca.


*Graduate Courses *

Two graduate level courses will be offered during the fall semester. The 
courses include :

    Introduction to Computer Algebra

    Topics in Computer Algebra
