Monday, November 6:
Finite-dimensional algebras and representation theory
Monday, November 13:
Noncommutative algebras
Magma Mondays is an introductory workshop aimed to teach Magma to mathematicians at all stages; no background in coding required. All are welcome; students are especially encouraged to join!
For non-locals:
The workshop will take place in hybrid form, meaning both in person and online. Look below for a zoom link.
Further, we are sorry to say that we are unable to provide any financial support, accommodation, or invitation letters to participants.
Magma conference in November:
Magma is developed, maintained, and distributed at The University of Sydney. In late November 2023 there will be a conference on Magma, and we hope Magma Mondays will be a valuable learning experience both for those getting started and more experienced.
