Call for Papers ---------------
SYNASC 2014
16th International Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing September 22-25, 2014, Timisoara, Romania http://synasc.ro/2014/ http://synasc14.info.uvt.ro/
Aim ---
SYNASC aims to stimulate the interaction between the two scientific communities of symbolic and numeric computing and to exhibit interesting applications of the areas both in theory and in practice. The choice of the topic is motivated by the belief of the organizers that the dialogue between the two communities is very necessary for accelerating the progress in making the computer a truly intelligent aid for mathematicians and engineers.
