[GAP Forum] Summer School on GAP in Algebraic Research, Aachen, Nov 19 - 22, 2018

[Sergio Siccha]

Dear All,

This  is  the  second announcement for  the  Research  Training  Group
"Experimental and Constructive Algebra"'s  summer school  on the topic
of  „GAP  in  Algebraic  Research“.   It  will take place from 19 - 22
November 2018 in Aachen.

Its aim  is to give an overview over  the research  software available
in GAP.    The speakers  will present  their areas  of  research,  the
functionality   that  is  available    to  investigate    these  areas
computationally, and  guide   participants  to  familiarize themselves
with  these tools  during the accompanying  programming  lab sessions.
We aim to do 2 hours of programming  lab session for each 1.5 hours of
lecture time.

No prior computational experience is needed.  Alexander Konovalov will
give  a  GAP  tutorial  at   the  beginning  of  the  summer   school.

The speakers are:
- Jan de Beule (Brussels), "Finite Geometry in GAP"
- Alexander Hulpke (Fort Collins), "Group Homomorphisms in GAP:
  Connecting and (De)composing Groups"
- Alexander Konovalov (St. Andrews), "Programming with GAP (A GAP
  Tutorial)"
- Sebastian Posur (Siegen), "The CAP Project: Category Theory in
  Computer Algebra"
- Madeleine Whybrow (Kaiserslautern), "Majorana and axial algebras
  in GAP"
- Wilf Wilson (Halle), "Computing with semigroups in GAP"

We invite advanced students, PhD  students and PostDocs to participate
and  have  9  places  available   with  funding   for   accommodation.
Note that you will have to cover  for your travel expenses yourselves.

The deadline for  registration is the 31st October.  To register visit

We would appreciate it if you forward  this email to your students and
postdocs.

Best regards,
Sergio Siccha

P.S.:
Due to  complications with  the class rooms  that were booked for  the
summer  school  the number  of participants  had  to be  capped at  30
temporarily. This  has all  been sorted  out and  registration is open
again.
