You are invited to apply to a Macaulay2 workshop at Cleveland State University in Cleveland, OH from Monday, May 11, 2020 through Friday, May 15, 2020 (with Sunday, May 10 and Saturday, May 16 serving as travel dates). Macaulay2 is the main computer algebra package used by researchers in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. Using it is a skill worth honing if you are interested in these areas or related ones.
The purpose of the workshop is to bring Macaulay2 developers together with those who would like to share or develop their skills at writing packages for Macaulay2 and those interested in developing the corresponding mathematical algorithms. We welcome participants with a broad range of experience with Macaulay2, from novices to the very experienced. Participants will form groups and work together on writing code and packages for Macaulay2. In addition to the group work, we plan to provide tutorials on Macaulay2 and package development, as well as opportunities for mathematical discussions and professional development.
Attendance at this workshop is by invitation, based on a brief application available via the link above. All who are interested are encouraged to apply. We have applied for NSF funding and hope to provide support for travel and lodging (priority will go to graduate students, postdocs, and participants from underrepresented communities). If you wish to apply for this kind of support, we ask that you submit your application by February 15, 2020.
