VIRTUAL RESEARCH SCHOOL - French Computer Algebra Days
Computer Algebra refers to the study and design of algorithms for manipulating mathematical expressions and objects. It lies at the interface between Mathematics, Computer Science and various application fields. It covers a wide range of subjects, such as effective linear algebra, algorithmic number theory, integration and summation in closed form, differential and polynomial system solving, or special functions. The French Computer Algebra community is internationally renowned for the excellence of its theoretical work. Several libraries produced by its members are part of mainstream software packages such as Maple or Sage. This success is notably due to the Journées nationales de calcul formel (JNCF), which are a remarkable opportunity for researchers to discuss recent and ongoing work with their peers.
