Sponsored by SIAM Activity Group on Algebraic Geometry.

All sessions will be held at North Carolina State University in Riddick and Withers Halls (Building 39 and 43 on the North Campus map).  Please link the following back to campus map  http://www.ncsu.edu/campus_map/north.htm.

Parking at North Carolina State University
Campus visitors (including workshop, seminar attendees, and conference attendees) are charged $2 per day to park on campus. Permits may be purchased at the Visitor Information Booths located on Katharine Stinson Drive.  A parking permit will be required on Thursday, October 6 and Friday, October 7.  No permit is required to park on campus Saturday or Sunday.

Visitor permits are not valid in pay lots. If you park in a pay lot, you will be charged the pay lot rate; $2 first hour, $2 each additional hour or $10 per day.

Description

The purpose of the SIAM Activity Group in Algebraic Geometry is to bring together researchers who use algebraic geometry in industrial and applied mathematics. "Algebraic geometry" is interpreted broadly to include at least: algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, noncommutative algebra, symbolic and numeric computation, algebraic and geometric combinatorics, representation theory, and algebraic topology.

These methods have already seen applications in: biology, coding theory, cryptography, combustion, computational geometry, computer graphics, quantum computing, control theory, geometric design, complexity theory, machine learning, nonlinear partial differential equations, optimization, robotics, and statistics.

We welcome participation from both theoretical mathematical areas and application areas not on this list which fall under this broadly interpreted notion of algebraic geometry and its applications.

The SIAG organizes biennial meetings (the first will be in 2011) and minisymposia at the SIAM annual meeting.
