TWENTY-SECOND HOLIDAY MATHEMATICS SYMPOSIUM

NEW MEXICO STATE UNIVERSITY

Between 1963 and 1976, and resuming in 1988, the Department of Mathematical Sciences at New Mexico State University has held a series of annual symposia during the winter recess. In 1997 the series continued with

EDWARD GREEN and DEREK HOLT

speaking on

REWRITING TECHNIQUES AND NONCOMMUTATIVE GROEBNER BASES

January 3-7, 1997

Complete lectures notes for all ten of the main lectures notes can be downloaded from this web page. In dvi format, Edward Green's lectures and Derek Holt's lectures may be viewed here; postscript versions of Green's and Holt's lecture notes may also be downloaded.

The titles and abstracts of all of the talks presented at the Symposium are also available (dvi and postscript). We also collected electronic versions of some of the papers presented at the conference to make them readily accessible on this web page.

D. Cohen, String rewriting and homology of monoids (dvi and postscript).
W. Helton and M. Stankus, Computer assistance in discovering formulas and theorems in system engineering (plus other papers, in Helton's home page).
S. Hermiller and M. Shapiro, Rewriting systems and geometric 3-manifolds (postscript).
B. Keller, Alternatives in implementing noncommutative Groebner basis systems (along with more information, in Keller's home page).
E. Lo, A polycyclic quotient algorithm (postscript).
G. Ostheimer, Algorithms for polycyclic by finite groups (postscript).
J. Wavrik, Rewrite rules and simplification of matrix expressions (dvi and postscript).

To contact any of the Holiday Symposium participants, here are their names and addresses. If you want a copy of the original conference announcement (perhaps to blackmail us for our claims about the mild weather?!), here are dvi and postscript versions.

Conference Organizers:
