Seminar: Mathematical Software

Summer 2018

In recent years mathematical software became in indispensible tool in research and applications alike. The purpose of this seminar is to learn about a variety of software systems, their usage and their design. There is a bias toward software in the area of discrete mathematics.

Participants will present one software system, combined with some mathematical background. The target audience of the seminar are students who are familiar with "Algorithmic Discrete Mathematics", "Discrete Geometry" or "Algebra".

Schedule

There was be a first meeting on April 17. The list of participants is now closed. The next (mandatory) meeting is on Tuesday, May 8, at 10:15 in MA 621. This is when it will be decided who is speaking when. To simplify procedures for everyone, we will organize a "Gruppenanmeldung" for this seminar.
