Dear Macaulay2 user,
You are invited to apply to participate in a Macaulay2 workshop that will take place at Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) from Monday, July 25, 2011 through Friday, July 29, 2011. The default arrival/departure is Sunday/Friday (night). Activities will start Monday morning (possibly Sunday night).
The application form is accessible from the IMA website. The application deadline is March 31, 2011.
Description: This workshop will serve as a meeting point for users and developers of Macaulay2. Its goal is to bring together researchers who would like to improve or share their skills at writing packages and those interested in developing the corresponding mathematical algorithms. There will be groups working on packages for numerical algebraic geometry, algebraic statistics, and enumerative algebraic geometry, as well as participants developing new and old packages not necessarily related to these topics. For examples of possible projects see our past workshop topics at http://wiki.macaulay2.com/Macaulay2.
Notes for participants: Attendance at this workshop by invitation only — based on a brief application — and all who are interested are encouraged to apply. Financial support is available for approximately 30 people with preference given to younger researchers.
A few other pieces of information you may need:
1. Please commit to being present for the entire workshop.
2. You will need to bring your laptop with Macaulay 2 on it to the workshop.
Organizers: Anton Leykin and Sonja Petrovic
