Workshop on Differential Algebra and
Related Topics
Date: November 2-3, 2000
Location: Robeson Campus Center 255-257,
350 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd,
Rutgers University at Newark, Newark, New
Jersey, USA
Purpose:
This international workshop will bring together experts from different
areas related to differential algebra to give expository talks on their
fields. The purpose of this workshop is to disseminate the methods and
results of differential algebra to other areas, to encourage potential
collaborations, and to attract graduate students and new researchers. In
order to bring the participants further up to date on the most current
research, there will be a Special Session on the same subject at the AMS
meeting at Columbia University immediately following this workshop.
Topics:
History of differential algebra, differential Galois theory,
differential algebraic geometry, differential algebraic groups,
computational differential algebra, applications to arithmetic
geometry, applications to control theory, difference algebra
and Baxter algebra.
