motivation
- This workshop at the University of Sydney will bring together experts and emerging researchers from Australia, the USA and Europe to report on recent results and explore future directions in computational and algorithmic topology. There will be a focus on problems in low-dimensional geometry and topology, and on the development of practical algorithms and their implementation. This is an area with an abundance of computational and algorithmic challenges, where practical solutions to many solvable problems, such as the homeomorphism problem, remain elusive. Five of the ten speakers develop freely available software to assist in their theoretical research or in the analysis of their algorithms and computational techniques. This workshop aims to stimulate interaction between researchers in order to bring about new collaborations on difficult problems that cannot be tackled from one viewpoint alone.
registration
- Please register by e-mailing stephan.tillmann@sydney.edu.au with the following information:
A small registration fee will be collected at the event to contribute towards catering costs (around AUD 10) and (if applicable) the conference dinner (around AUD 50, BYO). Reduced fees apply to students and members of the Australian Mathematical Society.
