Synopsis
Synopsis
Preceding the ISSAC meeting there will be two full days of M2 tutorials on July 14 and 15 (Sunday, Monday), taking place at NC State. These tutorials are intended to appeal to participants with any level of prior M2 experience. The topics will range from the basic functionality of M2 to modeling problems in the M2 language to more specialized tutorials on algebraic statistics and numerical algebraic geometry. We will also reserve ample time for practice and Q&A sessions.
For those new to Macaulay2, please try to install Macaulay2 on your machine before arriving. Instructions can be found here: https://macaulay2.com/Downloads/
There is no fee to attend this mini-school.
