Preface

摘要

These are the proceedings of the 7th International Congress on Mathematical Software, which was held during July 13-16, 2020, and hosted by the Technische Universitaet Braunschweig, Germany. In fact, in the middle of the pandemic caused by the Sars-Cov-2 virus, the conference took place online, and the video recordings of the talks are available on the conference website to accompany this book. The ICMS community believes that the appearance of mathematical software is one of the most important current developments in mathematics, and this phenomenon should be studied as a coherent whole. We hope this conference can serve as the main forum for mathematicians, scientists, and programmers who are interested in development of mathematical software. The program of the 2020 meeting consisted of 14 topical sessions, which made up the core of the program, consisting of more than 120 contributed talks. Session contributors were given the option to submit their work for publication in these proceedings, and 48 papers were selected through a peer-review process. For the first time this ICMS featured a special session with parallel software demonstrations.
