CAN Expertise Centre

The Expertise Centre will be embedded in the University of Amsterdam. The current activities for providing computer algebra services to the scientific community will be continued in cooperation with RIACA. These services include:

1. central computing facilities with a large range of computer algebra software, to be stationed at the TUE. The workstations which have been stationed at several locations in the first years of CAN will be handed over to the current users;

2. information services: the omputer lgebra nformation etwork and the nieuwsbrief remain in the air, also as part of the SAC-network activities of RIACA;

3. Courses and consultancy to be organised by CAN Diensten, the contents will be provided by the Expertise Centre;

Together with RIACA and the University of Amsterdam, a new project will be started directed towards the innovation of science education with help of computer algebra, and the development of authoring tools for teachers.

In previous months Els Willems and Alena Lacova have already stopped working for the Expertise Centre. Dick Verkerk will go over to CAN Diensten. So only André Heck and Leendert van Gastel will stay.
