Session on Numeric-Symbolic methods in Physical Modeling
Organized by Ioannis Emiris, André Galligo, Ilias S. Kotsireas

in the frame of the conference

ACA'2002, June 25-28, 2002, Volos, Greece

This session is intended to discuss, without being limited to,

interactions of numeric and symbolic methods in computer algebra,

applications to geometric modeling.

Research contributions as well as expository papers are solicited. For more information and/or to present a paper at the session, please contact the session organizers by e-mail.
