I will discuss some fundamental questions in algebraic number theory and how they relate to analytic objects called automorphic forms.

We will have three presentations on differential equations and one on a number theoretic problem arising from last weeks meeting.

2:30pm Allan Wittkopf: Recent improvements to Maple's numerical ODE solvers.

2:55pm Edgardo Cheb-Terrab: An implementation of an algorithmic approach for finding analytic solutions of systems of PDE.

3:20pm break - refreshments served

3:30pm John Ogilvie: Analysis of complicated chemical kinetics with Maple

3:55pm Imin Chen: How primes ramify in algebraic number fields.

4:20pm end
