Women in Algebra and Symbolic Computations


The workshop “Women in Algebra and Symbolic Computations” takes place from Monday, 9th  December to Wednesday, 11th December 2019, in the Kurpark-Hotel in Bad Dürkheim. The organisors are Niamh Farrell, Hannah Markwig, Frank-Olaf Schreyer and Michael Kunte.

Program

The conference is dedicated to the promotion of female researchers in the research area of our TRR. Hence the algebraic disciplines group and representation theory, algebraic geometry, commutative and non-commutative algebra, tropical and polyhedral geometry, number theory as well as random matrix theory and free probability are included. These mathematical fields are connected through symbolic methods and computations.

We are aiming at providing a stimulating platform for female researchers – networking is one of the main objectives of the workshop. This includes established female researches as well as Postdocs and graduate students. Male participants are very welcome and encouraged to attend.

In addition, there will be a panel discussion on “Women in Mathematics”. All questions on the subject are welcome.

Location / Directions

The Kurpark-Hotel in Bad Dürkheim can be reached by train (train station “Bad Dürkheim“) or car from all main locations.

Since one may have booked a train connection from Mannheim central station to Bad Dürkheim via RNV 4 or RNV 9, we would like to point out that this is actually a tram leaving in front of the train station.
See the following map with directions from Bad Dürkheim train station to the Kurpark Hotel which is a 5 minute walk.
