"Introduction to MAGMA"

Abstract: This will be an informal and basic introduction to the Magma
Computational Algebra System. Magma is a large, well-supported software
package which provides a mathematically rigorous environment for
defining and working with structures such as groups, rings, fields,
modules, algebras, schemes, curves, graphs, designs, codes and many
others. Magma also supports a number of databases designed to aid
computational research in those areas of mathematics which are algebraic
in nature.


Venue: Luigi Stasi Seminar Room, ICTP Leonardo Building, first floor.
