Details: Speaker: Professor Douglas Leonard Title: Using Computer Algebra Systems to Test and Improve Mathematical Theory Abstract: I will show examples of how I use Computer Algebra Systems (Macaulay2, Singular, and Magma) to try to understand mathematical theory, test it, and improve it. These examples may be about integral closures of rings or ideals, or desingularization of function fields, but the takeaway is how completely understanding small but non-trivial examples is important in shaping theory. |
