The fourth annual East Coast Computer Algebra Day will be held at Northeastern
University, Boston, Massachusetts, on May 3, 1997. The first meeting of the
series was held at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, followed
by the University of Delaware, in Newark, Delaware, and IBM Watson
Laboratories, Yorktown Heights, New York.


The scheduled talks
include:


 The Power of Examples:  $\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}$ from Four Different Viewpoints


                             Susan Landau

        Computing with large systems of linear Diophantine equations


                                Mark Giesbrecht

        Theorem Prover Support for Computer Algebra Systems

			Robert L. Constable




Topics in compter algebra include:

 Symbolic, algebraic, and symbolic-numerical algorithms.
 Computer algebra systems, software systems, experience with
     implementations of significant algorithms.
 Applying symbolic, algebraic, and symbolic-numerical algorithms to
     problems in the sciences, engineering, economics, and other areas.



The program will include time for informal gatherings of participants.
A session for the poster presentation of new and ongoing research, is
scheduled. Abstracts of the posters will be published in the SIGSAM
Bulletin, and a version of posters to be displayed on the Web is also
solicited.




Vendor displays and software demonstrations are also anticipated.
If you are interested in such a display or demonstration, please send
e-mail to eccad97@ccs.neu.edu .


Registration is FREE.  Funds are available in the form
of grants to cover travel and lodging.  Please send requests for such
support to eccad97-reg@ccs.neu.edu .



We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the National Science
Foundation (CCR-9707543), Northeastern University, and the College
of Computer Science at Northeastern University, without whom, this workshop
could not take place.
