Dear All, This is the second announcement for the Research Training Group "Experimental and Constructive Algebra"'s summer school on the topic of „GAP in Algebraic Research“. It will take place from 19 - 22 November 2018 in Aachen.
Its aim is to give an overview over the research software available in GAP. The speakers will present their areas of research, the functionality that is available to investigate these areas computationally, and guide participants to familiarize themselves with these tools during the accompanying programming lab sessions. We aim to do 2 hours of programming lab session for each 1.5 hours of lecture time. No prior computational experience is needed. Alexander Konovalov will give a GAP tutorial at the beginning of the summer school. The speakers are: - Jan de Beule (Brussels), "Finite Geometry in GAP" - Alexander Hulpke (Fort Collins), "Group Homomorphisms in GAP: Connecting and (De)composing Groups" - Alexander Konovalov (St. Andrews), "Programming with GAP (A GAP Tutorial)" - Sebastian Posur (Siegen), "The CAP Project: Category Theory in Computer Algebra" - Madeleine Whybrow (Kaiserslautern), "Majorana and axial algebras in GAP" - Wilf Wilson (Halle), "Computing with semigroups in GAP" We invite advanced students, PhD students and PostDocs to participate and have 9 places available with funding for accommodation. Note that you will have to cover for your travel expenses yourselves. The deadline for registration is the 31st October. To register visit https://lbfm-rwth.github.io/gap-in-algebraic-research-2018/ We would appreciate it if you forward this email to your students and postdocs. Best regards, Sergio Siccha P.S.: Due to complications with the class rooms that were booked for the summer school the number of participants had to be capped at 30 temporarily. This has all been sorted out and registration is open again. _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list Forum@gap-system.org https://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum
