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.
