Overview

There will be a two week Winter School on the software Macaulay2 and the mathematical advances it has inspired, at the Hue University of Education in Hue, Vietnam. 

The first week (Dec 29 - Dec 31, Jan 2) will feature several lectures discussing both the basic functionality of Macaulay2, and how to use it to solve problems in Commutative Algebra, Algebraic Geometry, and other fields. 

During the second week (January 5–9), the focus will be on writing and documenting code as part of Macaulay2 packages. Participants will work in small groups led by experienced members, concentrating on the implementation of individual packages. Throughout the week, we’ll have a series of presentations—starting with experienced participants to set the stage, and ending with junior participants sharing the progress they’ve made.

The Winter School will be supported by the Vietnamese National Program for the Development of Mathematics.
