<br>
<title>Fields Institute Thematic Program on Computer Algebra
(Fall Term 2015)</title>
Dear Colleagues, <br>
<br>
We invite you to participate in the Fields Institute Thematic
Program on Computer Algebra being held this year from July to
December 2015 at the Fields Institute in Toronto. <br>
<br>
The thematic program focuses on current and emerging areas of
importance in computer algebra: symbolic linear algebra,
algorithms for algebraic and semi-algebraic geometry, hybrid
symbolic-numeric computing, algorithms for differential
algebra and symbolic combinatorial, and certified algorithms.
<br>
<br>
Information on the semester can be found at <br>

with the site being regularly updated. Registration for the
workshops is now open at <br>

<br>
<br>
<b><big>Events </big></b><br>
<br>
The program takes place from July until December of 2015 with
a highlight being three workshops in leading areas of computer
algebra. The three workshops and their dates are <br>
<br>
September 14 - 19: Workshop on Symbolic Combinatorics and
Computational Differential Algebra <br>
<br>
October 26 - 31: Workshop on Linear Computer Algebra and
Symbolic-Numeric Computation <br>
<br>
December 7 - 16: Workshop on Algebra, Geometry and Proofs
in Symbolic Computation <br>
<br>
The program includes the Coxeter Lecture Series, a series of
three talks being given during the last week of October by
Victor Shoup of the Courant Institute. In addition we expect
that informal talks will occur throughout the term as visitors
and students arrive for their research stays. <br>
<br>
<br>
<b><big>Postdoctoral Fellowships and Support </big></b><br>
<br>
Applications are invited for postdoctoral fellowship positions
during the Thematic Program. The fellowships provide for a
period of engagement in research and participation in the
activities of the Fields Institute. They may be offered in
conjunction with partner universities, through which a further
period of support may be possible. Additional information
including application procedures can be found at the programs
website. <br>
<br>
<br>
<b><big>Visitor Support </big></b><br>
<br>
There are a number of openings for the support of researchers
who wish to stay for longer periods - two weeks or more -
during the thematic program. Please send all requests
including dates and additional information to <a
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:glabahn@cs.uwaterloo.ca">glabahn@cs.uwaterloo.ca</a>.
<br>
<br>
Postdoctoral fellows and PhD students from other centers are
encouraged to attend. Support is available for several
fellows and students. Please send any such request to <a

<br>
<b><big>Graduate Courses </big></b><br>
<br>
Two graduate level courses will be offered during the fall
semester. The courses include : <br>
<br>
Introduction to Computer Algebra <br>
<br>
Topics in Computer Algebra <br>
