Summary: Computations far away from perturbative regimes can typically be done only using numerical methods. The problem is then how to prove rigorously existence of relevant objects, how many objects exist, stability properties, etc. Using tools from topology, analysis and geometry like the theories of operators, singularities, normal forms, transversality, etc, one tries to reduce the problem to a finite number of numerical checks (e.g., inequalities, inclusions). They are carried out using implementations of interval arithmetics, with algorithms that allow to prevent from a too large increase in the size of the intervals along the computations. The course will consider the cases of maps, ODE and dissipative PDE. Lectures will be given by Prof. Piotr Zgliczynski, Jagiellonian University, Krakow and seminars will be given by Dr. Maciej Capinski, University of Science and Technology, Krakow. Deadline for inscriptions: January 31 There is no inscription fee and there are a limited number of young researcher grants.

Currently, symbolic computation is divided into several (more or less) independent branches, traditional ones (e.g. computer algebra and theorem proving) as well as newly emerging ones (on user interfaces, knowledge management, theory exploration, etc.). The main concern of the Calculemus community is to bring these developments together in order to facilitate the theory, design, and implementation of integrated MAS that will routinely be used by mathematicians, computer scientists, and engineers in their every-day business. For the upcoming Calculemus meeting, which will be held jointly with MKM2007 in Hagenberg, Austria, we seek original research papers in this context. Scope: The scope of Calculemus covers all aspects of developing mathematical assistant systems, in particular, the interplay of automated reasoning and computer algebra. Potential areas of interest are: o) Automated reasoning in computer algebra o) Computer algebra in automated reasoning o) Interdisciplinary systems o) Infrastructure for mathematical services o) Theory exploration techniques o) Theory, design, and implementation of MAS o) Case studies and applications of MAS Keynote Speakers: Thomas Hales, University of Pittsburgh John Harrison, Intel Inc.
