There will be a workshop, sponsored by AIM, October 26 to October 30, 2009, devoted to developing the following three packages for Macaulay 2.
- Algebraic statistics
- Numerical algebraic geometry
- Toric algebraic geometry
These three topics are all very active areas of research in computational algebra and algebraic geometry and are linked in surprising ways which lends them nicely to be the three packages of focus for this workshop.
For more information on the packages, the goals of the workshop and the application to attend, please go to the workshop web page.
