Last Call for Papers

SYNASC 2019

21st International Symposium on
Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing
September 4-7, 2019, Timisoara, Romania
http://synasc.ro/2019

in conjunction with FROM 2019 - 3rd Working Formal Methods Symposium
http://from2019.projects.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.
