We are pleased to announce that the fifth
International School on
Computer Algebra: COCOA 2007 will take place in June 2007 at
RISC near Linz (Austria)
The school is part of the
RISC Summer 2007
program, and will be held the week before
MEGA07.
Following the very successful format we have used for the previous
schools, there will be two intensive courses with CoCoA tutorials:
The tutors and assistants will be able to provide help for participants
in the use of the
computer algebra system CoCoA. Students who own laptops are encouraged
to bring them for use during the tutorials. The CoCoA system is
available for installation by downloading it from the
CoCoA web page.
There is space in the school for about 20 participants, who should
currently be
enrolled in a doctoral programme somewhere in the world or be recent
postdoctoral
fellows. All students who are accepted for admission to the School will
receive a
scholarship which will cover some of the expenses for
bed&breakfast in Hagenberg.
Those wishing to participate in the School should submit a LETTER OF
APPLICATION to either:
Lorenzo Robbiano robbiano@dima.unige.it
Anthony Geramita geramita@dima.unige.it or
tony@mast.queensu.ca
The Letter of Application should include the applicant's CV as well as
the applicant's
reasons for wanting to take part in the school. There should also be
included the (email)
address of one mathematician who can act as referee for the application.
Applications should be submitted by (extended deadline)
17th MARCH, 2007 and the final decisions about
scholarships will be made before the end of March by the Organizing
Committee (A. Bigatti, A. Geramita, L. Robbiano).
Information about costs, accommodations, method of payment, etc. will
come in the next announcement.
We look forward to seeing you in Hagenberg Castle this coming June. If you have
any questions, please don't hesitate to write to us.
Best regards,
Anna Bigatti
Tony Geramita
Lorenzo Robbiano
