An international journal, the Journal of Symbolic Computation, founded by Bruno Buchberger in 1985, is directed to mathematicians and computer scientists who have a particular interest in symbolic computation. The journal provides a forum for research in the algorithmic treatment of all types of symbolic objects: objects in formal languages (terms, formulas, programs); algebraic objects (elements in basic number domains, polynomials, residue classes, etc.); and geometrical objects.

It is the explicit goal of the journal to promote the integration of symbolic computation by establishing one common avenue of communication for researchers working in the different subareas. It is also important that the algorithmic achievements of these areas should be made available to the human problem-solver in integrated software systems for symbolic computation. To help this integration, the journal publishes invited tutorial surveys as well as Applications Letters and System Descriptions.

Research Areas Include:

• Computational algebra
• Computational geometry (non-linear)
• Automated theorem proving
• Automatic programming
• Design and implementation of symbolic computation languages and systems
• Applications in education, science, engineering and industry

Special Issue on Computational Algebra and Geometry: A special issue in memory and honor of Agnes Szanto
Submission Date: 2023-09-30

Agnes Szanto passed away on March 21st 2022 at the age of 55. She served for many years on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Symbolic Computation. Agnes made significant contributions on the development and analysis of symbolic and numerical algorithms for problems in algebra and geometry. She was an extraordinary person. A devoted teacher and mentor, she enthusiastically committed to the community and became an inspiring model of leadership. This special issue is to honor her memory.
