SECOND MAGMA CONFERENCE ON COMPUTATIONAL ALGEBRA


On Sunday evening a wine and cheese party was held to welcome the participants and provide an opportunity for everyone to meet. Since this was a rather last minute decision, most of the shopping and preparation was done by the conference organizer's wife and children. Their extraordinary help with this event made it a big success. Some conference attendees helped with the last-minute preparations.

Our only minor problem was that we hadn't planned a large enough room for all who showed up. Fortunately, the atrium easily handled the overflow.
