For many years, workshops, seminars, and conferences related to Macaulay2 have been held regularly in many countries and major mathematics centers around the world, including the USA, the UK, Germany, France, Canada, and various European countries. This highlights that Macaulay2 has fostered a large, dynamic, and continuously active international academic community.
The Macaulay2 Winter School aims to systematically introduce the basic functions of the Macaulay2 software while providing guidance on its application in modern mathematical research. In addition to a series of theoretical lectures, participants were divided into groups to work on hands-on projects under the direct supervision of experts, focusing on the development and refinement of software packages for research purposes. Through these activities, the program seeks to connect the academic community and promote research collaboration among domestic and international scientists.
The program has attracted 55 participants from many countries, including the USA, France, Italy, Russia, Colombia, China, the Republic of Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, India, Pakistan, and Vietnam. This diversity in nationality and academic background creates a vibrant and highly international environment for scholarly exchange.
The Macaulay2 Winter School takes place over two weeks. The first week (Dec 29, 2025 - Jan 3, 2026) focuses on lectures and discussions regarding the foundations and applications of Macaulay2. The second week (Jan 5 - 9, 2026) is dedicated to practical activities, developing software packages through group work and progress presentations.
The selection of the University of Education, Hue University as the host venue not only stems from the university's reputation in training and research, but also reflects the international community's recognition of the strong development of Vietnamese mathematics in recent years. The Macaulay2 Winter School is expected to contribute to enhancing research capacity, expanding scientific cooperation, and affirming Vietnam's position on the international mathematical map.
