Dear Colleagues:

I write to advise you of the following event:

Conference: Computational Algebra and Magma
Location: University of Sydney
Dates: 27-29 November, 2023

Magma is a world-leading computer algebra system developed by the
Computational Algebra Group at the University of Sydney. It supports
cutting-edge computations in algebra, number theory, algebraic geometry,
and algebraic combinatorics and is used on a daily basis by research
mathematicians in over 70 countries.

The group is led by Professor John Cannon, the founder of Magma, and of
its predecessor Cayley. A world expert on the development and
implementation of algorithms for mathematics, John's scientific
contributions are recognised via many awards including the CSIRO Medal
(1993); the ATSE Clunies Ross Award (2001); the Richard D. Jenks
Memorial Prize (2006); and his election in 2022 as Fellow of the
Australian Academy of Science.

This meeting brings together a group of leading international
researchers who have many connections to both John and the broad subject
areas. We will celebrate two events:
* the 30th anniversary of the official launch of Magma, and
* the outstanding contributions of John as he reaches a personal milestone.

For details of the conference, including confirmed speakers and
registration, see https://www.maths.usyd.edu.au/u/comalg

The Computational Algebra group plan to run a workshop on Computational
Number Theory in association with the conference. Details are on the
website.

Best wishes.
