This volume contains the collected contributions of two conferences, Calcu- mus2007andMKM2007.Calculemus2007wasthe14thinaseriesofconferences dedicated to the integration of computer algebra systems (CAS) and automated deduction systems (ADS). MKM 2007 was the sixth International Conference on Mathematical Knowledge Management, an emerging interdisciplinary ?eld of research in the intersection of mathematics, computer science, library s- ence, and scienti?c publishing. Both conferences aimed to provide mechanized mathematical assistants. Although the two conferences have separate communities and separate foci, there is a signi?cant overlap in the interests in building mechanized mathem- ical assistants. For this reason it was decided to collocate the two events in 2007 for the ?rst time, at RISC in Hagenberg, Austria. The number and quality of the submissions show that this was a good decision. While the proceedings are shared, the submission process was separate. The responsibility for acc- tance/rejection rests completely with the two separate Program Committees. By this collocation we made a contribution against the fragmentation of communities which work on di?erent aspects of di?erent independent branches, traditional branches (e.g., computer algebra and theorem proving), as well as newly emerging ones (on user interfaces, knowledge management, theory exp- ration, etc.). This will also facilitate the development of integrated mechanized mathematical assistants that will be routinely used by mathematicians, c- puter scientists, and engineers in their every-day business.

BrunoBuchberger This book is a synopsis of basic and applied research done at the various re search institutions of the Softwarepark Hagenberg in Austria. Starting with 15 coworkers in my Research Institute for Symbolic Computation (RISC), I initiated the Softwarepark Hagenberg in 1987 on request of the Upper Aus trian Government with the objective of creating a scienti?c, technological, and economic impulse for the region and the international community. In the meantime, in a joint e?ort, the Softwarepark Hagenberg has grown to the current (2009) size of over 1000 R&D employees and 1300 students in six research institutions, 40 companies and 20 academic study programs on the bachelor, master’s and PhD level. The goal of the Softwarepark Hagenberg is innovation of economy in one of the most important current technologies: software. It is the message of this book that this can only be achieved and guaranteed long term by “watering the root”, namely emphasis on research, both basic and applied. In this book, we summarize what has been achieved in terms of research in the various research institutions in the Softwarepark Hagenberg and what research vision we have for the imminent future. When I founded the Softwarepark Hagenberg, in addition to the “watering the root” principle, I had the vision that such a technology park can only prosper if we realize the “magic triangle”, i.e. the close interaction of research, academic education, and business applications at one site, see Figure 1.

This book constitutes the joint refereed proceedings of the 20th Symposium on the Integration of Symbolic Computation and Mechanized Reasoning, Calculemus 2013, 6th International Workshop on Digital Mathematics Libraries, DML 2013, Systems and Projects, held in Bath, UK as part of CICM 2013, the Conferences on Intelligent Computer Mathematics. The 7 revised full papers out of 18 submissions for MKM 2013, 5 revised full papers out of 12 submissions for Calculemus 2013, 6 revised full papers out of 8 submissions for DML 2013, and 12 revised full papers out of 16 submissions for Systems and Project track presented together with 3 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected, resulting in 33 papers from a total of 73 submissions.

Gegenstand des Buches sind Algorithmen zur Lösung gängiger Fragestellungen der Analysis und der Linearen Algebra. Die Gliederung erfolgt anhand der mathematischen Objekte, die in den vorgestellten Methoden die zentrale Rolle spielen. So stehen im vorliegenden Buch Zahlen, Vektoren und univariate Polynome im Mittelpunkt, während in einem nachfolgenden Band auf Algorithmen zu Matrizen, Funktionen und multivariaten Polynomen eingegangen wird. Nach einer Wiederholung der mathematischen Grundlagen stehen Entwicklung und Computerrealisierung der Lösungsmethoden im Vordergrund.Der Leser erfährt, wie die jeweiligen mathematischen Objekte am Computer mit Hilfe von Datenstrukturen dargestellt werden können, und wie die damit verbundenen elementaren Rechenoperationen ausgeführt werden können, etwa die Addition rationaler Zahlen oder die Multiplikation zweier Polynome. Umfangreichere Problemstellungen werden hinsichtlich ihrer Lösbarkeit und ihrer Sensitivität gegenüber Störungen der Eingangsdaten untersucht. Darauf basierend werden Algorithmen zu deren Lösung hergeleitet und in Form von Pseudocode sowie anhand von Beispielen präsentiert. Die Diskussion der Algorithmen wird hinsichtlich des Aufwands, mit dem die Berechnung einer Lösung am Computer verbunden ist, sowie der Rechenfehler, die durch Diskretisierung, vorzeitigen Abbruch, Rundung und/oder fehlerhafte Eingangsdaten entstehen können, geführt. Tatsächliche Implementierungen in Mathematica und/oder Matlab der im Buch beschriebenen Algorithmen stehen als Download zur Verfügung.
