KUMUNUjr provides an opportunity for young mathematicians studying commutative algebra in the Midwest to share their research and expertise with one another. Our discipline is an active one, with connections to algebraic geometry, cluster algebras, combinatorics, homological algebra, representation theory, statistics, and other areas. Furthermore, midwestern commutative algebra research continues to reflect the activity and diversity of the commutative algebra research community. We anticipate funding through the NSF to partially cover travel and lodging expenses. Feel free to contact any of the organizers with questions.

The 2016 edition of the Swiss doctoral program’s Borel seminar will focus on recent major progresses arising from the interaction of matroid theory with topology, (tropical) geometry and representation theory. It will take place

January 24-29, 2016, in Les Diablerets, Switzerland.

Please find below a list of minicourses, and refer to the webpage

http://www.combinatorialmethods.ch/sm-art/

for further (and updated) information.

The seminar’s venue has a limited capacity, thus we ask for applications from interested participants to be sent to the e-mail address borel2016@unifr.ch before October 2nd, 2015 and according to the guidelines posted on the seminar’s webpage.

Please do not hesitate to contact us for any queries about the seminar, and feel free to forward this announcement to anyone you think could be interested.

We look forward to a vibrant and interesting week in Les Diablerets.

The Third EACA International School on Computer Algebra and its Applications will take place at the Faculty of Mathematics and IMUS (University Institute of Mathematics Research) of the University of Seville (Spain) on January 18th-21th, 2016.

It is an activity of the Spanish network Red-EACA, Red Temática de Cálculo Simbólico, Álgebra Computacional y Aplicaciones, partially supported by the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, under the Acciones de Dinamización “Redes de Excelencia” MTM2014-56142-REDT.

The First and Second EACA School on Computer Algebra and its Applications were held in Tenerife (Canary Islands) in 2011 and in Valladolid in 2013.

This School intends to provide an opportunity for young researchers (namely, Master and PhD students and Postdocs) in Computer Algebra and Symbolic Computation or in its Applications from all over the world, to learn from three internationally recognized lecturers, about recent developments on the area. The School also welcomes experienced researchers interested in these topics.

The School will consist on three courses (lectures and tutorials) by experts plus short contributed talks and poster presentations by young researchers. Submissions will be supervised by the School’s Scientific Committee.

The Upper Midwest Commutative Algebra Colloquium will be held on November 14, 2015.  This conference is being created with two main goals in mind:

1.  To showcase the depth and breadth of research connected to commutative algebra;

2.  To build a regional community among faculty and students across algebraic disciplines and between our two institutions.

More information can be found at the following address.
