Funding

We thank the National Science Foundation (NSF), which has funded the Macaulay 2 project through the following direct grants.

• Collaborative research: a software system for algebraic geometry research, Daniel R. Grayson, Michael E. Stillman (Cornell), David Eisenbud (Berkeley), current, NSF DMS 08-10909 (Cornell) and NSF DMS 08-10948 (UIUC), and NSF DMS 08-10918 (Berkeley), 2008-2010, funding for year 1 in place: $71,000 (Cornell), $70,000 (UIUC), $9,000 (Berkeley); funding for year 2 expected to be the same.

We are also grateful for the following indirect support.

• Implementing algebraic geometry algorithms, October 26 to October 30, 2009, a workshop taking place at the American Institute of Mathematics (AIM), Palo Alto, California, and funded by it and by the National Science Foundation; organized by Hirotachi Abo, Anton Leykin, Sam Payne, and Amelia Taylor. For details about participants and their contributions see details.
• A Macaulay 2 workshop in Berkeley, California, Friday, January 8, 2010 through Tuesday, January 12, 2010, organized by Amelia Taylor and Hirotachi Abo with David Eisenbud, Daniel R. Grayson, and Michael E. Stillman, and funded by the National Security Agency (NSA) through grant H98230-09-1-0111.
