The 4th International Workshop
on Computer Algebra
in Scientific Computing

CASC-2001

September 22 - 26, 2001
Konstanz, Germany

First Announcement and Call for Papers
The methods of Scientific Computing play an important role in research and engineering applications in the fields of the natural and the engineering sciences. The importance of computer algebra methods and computer algebra systems for scientific computing has increased considerably in recent times. During the last decade, a new generation of general-purpose computer algebra systems such as Mathematica, Maple, MuPAD, Reduce, Axiom and others have been developed, which enable the user to solve the following three important tasks within a uniform framework of the same systems:
  • symbolic manipulation
  • numerical computation
  • visualization

The ongoing development of such systems, including their adaptation to parallel environments, puts them to the forefront in scientific computing and enables the practical solution of many complex applied problems in the domains of natural sciences and engineering knowledge.

Topics for CASC combine many important questions and methods of scientific computing and the applications of computer algebra, like
  • computer algebra and approximate computations
  • numerical simulation using computer algebra systems
  • parallel symbolic-numeric computation
  • problem-solving environments
  • symbolic-numeric interface
  • Internet accessible symbolic and numeric computation
  • construction of approximate solutions of ordinary differential equations and dynamical systems
  • symbolic-numeric methods for differential-algebraic equations
  • computer algebra analysis of partial differential equations
  • computer algebra based simulations
  • algebraic methods for nonlinear polynomial equations and inequalities
  • algorithmic and complexity considerations in computer algebra
  • computer algebra applications in industry
  • applications in natural sciences

The workshop is intended to provide a forum for researchers and engineers in the fields of mathematics, computer science, numerical analysis, industry, etc. An important goal of the workshop is to bring together all these specialists for the purpose of making progress on many current questions and problems in advanced scientific computing.
