[sci.math.symbolic] Workshop on symbolic and numeric comp. + APL-afternoon

apiola@cc.helsinki.fi (05/20/91)

          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)

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.
