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.

PRE-WORKSHOP AFTERNOON: FinnAPL and the Helsinki University Computer Centre will arrange an APL- afternoon on Wed. 29.5. at 14 - 16.30. The main speaker will be Norman Thomson from IBM Winchester. He will give a talk on "Mathematical appli- cations of APL2". There will be demonstrations of IBM's APL2 and STSC's APL*PLUS on an IBM RS 6000 workstation and "an announcement of STSC's software grant for some Finnish Universities"
