The Opening Conference of the 2nd Thematic Einstein Semester takes place at Arnimallee 22 (Lecture Hall A) on the campus of the Freie Universität Berlin.

Over the past decade, algebraic geometry has found applications in computer science, biology, and engineering, in optimization and statistics. There has been dramatic progress in our ability to practically solve polynomial systems numerically – with Berlin playing a leading role. The organizers of the 2nd Thematic Einstein Semester (TES), Peter Bürgisser (TU Berlin), Gavril Farkas (HU Berlin) and Christian Haase (FU Berlin), invite you to help find out what algebraic geometry can do for you and what you can do for algebraic geometry.

The conference is organized by:

Mario Kummer (TU Berlin), Angela Ortega (HU Berlin), Andrea Petracci (FU Berlin), Karin Schaller (FU Berlin)
