Aim of the conference

This workshop will focus on the study of rational points on algebraic varieties using computational tools in the Magma computer algebra system. The program will include collaborative discussions on available algorithms, current problems and open questions, feature requests, and design considerations. Such algorithms often rely heavily upon underlying algorithms for extensions of number fields, for example computations of unit groups and class groups. We hope to guide future directions for algorithmic and computational advancements in Magma.

It is a pre-workshop for Rational Points 2025.
