The Department of Computer Science at Western University is pleased to announce the international conference on Matrices and Polynomials in Computer Algebra: Algorithms and Software, scheduled from July 22 to July24, 2024. This conference aims to unite researchers, practitioners, and academics to explore recent advancements and innovations in computer algebra focusing on matrices and polynomials.

Celebrating Professor Laureano Gonzalez-Vega's 60th Birthday: This conference will also commemorate the 60th birthday of Professor Laureano Gonzalez-Vega, whose contributions to the field are verywell-known.

LALO 60 will be held on July 22-24, 2024 in London, Ontario, Canada.

The topics of interest  of the conference are:

• Polynomial root isolation
• Matrix computations and algorithms
•  Symbolic and numerical methods for polynomial and matrix problems
• Applications of matrices and polynomials in computer algebra
• Software systems and tools for matrices and polynomials
• Computational real algebraic geometry

Invited Speakers:

We are grateful to the following colleagues who have accepted to deliver keynote presentations at LALO 60:

• Jane Breen, Ontario Tech University
• Gema María Díaz-Toca, Universidad de Murcia
• Jürgen Gerhard, Maplesoft
• Tomás Recio, Universidad Antonio de Nebrija
• Marie-Françoise Roy, University of Rennes
• Juan Rafael Sendra, CUNEF Universidad

Submission Guidelines

Authors are encouraged to submit an extended abstract of 4 to 8 pages related to matrices and polynomials in computer algebra.  Papers should not duplicate work published or submitted for consideration elsewhere. For their submissions, we encourage authors to consider the LaTeX style of the Maple Transactions, which is available at:
