Foundations of Computational Mathematics
IMA, Minneapolis, August 5-14, 2002

Workshop on Computational Algebraic Geometry
August 8-10, 2002









This is one of the 19 workshops at FoCM Third International Meeting.

The workshop will focus on Effective and Algorithmic Methods in  Algebraic Geometry, Commutative Algebra, Computational Algebra and related fields.  It includes, but is not restricted to,  Symbolic, Numeric and Symbolic-Numeric techniques, and Theoretical and Practical Complexity Issues.

The aim is to encourage the interaction between the different approaches, and the emphasis will be on communicating ideas to a broadly based audience.
 

Schedule of the talks:
(Please take into account that as we have 45 and 30' talks, the timetable changes from day to day. The slots are of 50 and 35' since after each talk  there are 5' for questions and comments .)
