The Symbolic Computation Laboratory has a long history at Western University spanning 4 decades and 3 departments: Applied Mathematics, Mathematics, and Computer Science. Since the late 1990s, SCL has hosted over 125 postdoctoral fellows and graudate students. Today, SCL counts 4 principal scientists, 8 PhD students, 9 Masters students, and 4 Undergraduate students.
SCL, in partnership with its sister labratories, compose the Ontario Research Centre for Computer Algebra.
About Our Logo
Our logo is the intersection of several algebraic curves with the unit disk. Those curves are described by the formulas:$$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} y -\frac{7}{4} x^{2}+\frac{77}{20} x -\frac{747}{400} = 0\\[0.5em] \frac{19}{25} x^{2}-\frac{437}{250} x +\frac{27707}{20000}+\frac{9}{10} y^{2}-\frac{333}{100} y = 0\\[0.5em] -x -\frac{9}{10} y^{2}-\frac{27}{100} y -\frac{681}{4000} = 0\\[0.5em] x^{9}+x \,y^{3}+\frac{1}{100} = 0\\[0.5em] \frac{1}{3} x^{2}+\frac{9}{10} x +\frac{327}{400}+y^{2}+\frac{11}{5} y = 0 \\[0.5em] \end{array}\right.$$
