- FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
-
- The CAYLEY/MAGMA Conference on Computational Algebra
-
- London, August 23 - 27, 1993
-
- An instructional conference on Computational Algebra and the new MAGMA system
- for Algebra and Number Theory will be held at Queen Mary and Westfield College,
- London, August 23 - 27, 1993. The conference is being held to mark
- the international launch of MAGMA and it will focus on the state of the art in
- algorithmic algebra.
-
- Building on a decade of experience with the CAYLEY system, the Computational
- Algebra Group at the University of Sydney, with the generous assistance of
- algebraists from many different countries, has designed the MAGMA system.
- This system provides an integrated facility for solving hard computational
- problems in the major families of algebraic structures, viz. groups, rings,
- fields and modules.
-
- MAGMA has a functional-style programming language in which the principal
- data types are sets, sequences, structures (magmas) and mappings. The
- kernel contains efficient implementations of many of the principal algorithms
- in Module Theory, Ring Theory, Group Theory, Algebraic Number Theory
- and Algebraic Combinatorics.
-
- Each of the morning sessions of the Conference will consist of lectures on
- current developments in one of the above areas of computational algebra, while
- the afternoons will be devoted to instructional presentations of corresponding
- features in the new MAGMA system. Ample opportunities will be provided for
- participants to gain hands-on experience with the system.
-
- Papers are sought from intending participants describing:
-
- (*) Algorithmic methods in Module Theory, Ring Theory, Group Theory, Algebraic
- Number Theory or Algebraic Combinatorics,
-
- (*) Research applications of CAYLEY or MAGMA, or
-
- (*) The impact of computer techniques on research in algebra and related areas.
-
- Intending participants are invited to express interest by sending email to
-
- R.L.Silverstone@qmw.ac.uk
