Workshop on Symbolic and Numeric Computation
============================================
Helsinki 30 -- 31.5. 1991
-------------------------
ORGANIZING INSTITUTIONS:
Helsinki University Computing Centre
The Rolf Nevanlinna-Institute
CSC (Centre for Scientific Computation)
GENERAL THEMES:
- Computer algebra and some of its applications
- Interaction of Computer Algebra, numerical computation and
scientific visualization
- Applications of Scientific Software and Scientific Computing
OBJECTIVES:
The workshop aims to bring together different computational cultures
represented by the symbol algebra, numerical and graphical software and
matrix-vector language communities. We will try to provide a forum for
exchanging ideas and introducing projects that develop or use some
combination of such tools.
