Dear Macaulay2 User,
We are organizing a Macaulay2 workshop, from Saturday May 7 to Tuesday
May 10 2016 with Friday May 6 and Wednesday May 11 serving as travel
days. The workshop will be at the University of Utah in Salt Lake
City, Utah. Activities will start first thing Saturday morning
(possibly Friday night).
The purpose of the workshop is to bring Macaulay2 developers together
with those who would like to share or develop their skills at writing
packages for Macaulay2 and those interested in developing the
corresponding mathematical algorithms. We are interested in
participants with a broad range of experience with Macaulay2, from
very experienced to novices. The novices will have the opportunity to
learn about Macaulay2 from the more experienced participants.
Some examples of projects from past workshops can be viewed by looking
through the Macaulay2 wiki pages for past workshops (see link at end
of email.) There is ongoing work on many of the packages described
there, and we hope that a few teams will propose new projects and
work on them at this workshop as well.
Attendance at this workshop is by invitation only --- based on a brief
application --- and all who are interested are encouraged to apply. We
anticipate financial support for approximately 30-35 people. We strive
to include both experienced Macaulay2 developers and people who want
to gain experience in Macaulay2 --- there is no minimum amount of
experience that is required in order to apply!
If you would like to attend, please apply as soon as possible at the
following webpage
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1A5imjj9YBmRO06gjiMhNDvSeW48tKB0EVdWuOP_l2vU/viewform
Application
Your application should include:
1. information about what projects/algorithms you would like to work
on, and what you have done in the past. (This is the most important
piece --- please put some thought into this and be as specific as
possible),
2. a good estimate of travel expenses, and whether you would require
financial support for housing and meals (when available), and if you
will be willing to share a room. (Rooms may be in limited supply; if
additional single rooms are available, and you want one, we may ask
you to pay any additional cost).
3. your current institution and rank, and if you are a graduate
student, your advisor's name.
Applications are due by 11:59pm on March 1,2016. We plan
to allocate funds to participants shortly thereafter.
Please commit to being present for the entire workshop. You will need
to bring your laptop with Macaulay2 on it to the workshop. A wiki for
the workshop will be created at the following webpage
http://wiki.macaulay2.com/Macaulay2/index.php?title=Utah2016_-_Main_Page
including information about travel, the workshop schedule, and Salt
Lake City, Utah.
Sincerely,
Adam Boocher, Karl Schwede, and Amelia Taylor, the organizers
