We are pleased to announce the course "Computer Algebra Applications", to be held in Laredo, Spain, during the first week of September, 1997 (monday to friday). The course will be part of the University of Cantabria Summer Program, with the support of the Erasmus Network "Galois" and the Esprit IV project "FRISCO". It aims to present a panorama of technological applications of Computer Algebra.
Programme
Moreover, two afternoon sessions will be organized with the participation
of engineers working in industrial problems requiring Computer Algebra
tools.
The course is not specifically addressed to Computer Algebra specialists,
but also to those with reasonable mathematical skills (engineers,
scientists, students ), interested in learning about how this tool can
help in analyzing and solving technological problems.
