East African Summer School on Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry August 9-20, 2004
This summer school was covered material on the Grassmann variety and Schubert cells, Plücker coordinates and standard bitableaux as well as computational topics of algebra includinding the division algorithm, Buchberger's algorithm and Groebner bases. Computer labs introduced the computer algebra software CoCoA with exercises related to computation of ideals and quotients in polynomial rings.
Topics and course material	Computer labs using CoCoA An introduction to Algebraic Geometry and Combinatorial Methods in representation theory Ideals, varieties and algorithms Lecture notes and computer labs and exercises
