DESCRIPTION:[OSCAR](https://www.oscar-system.org/) is a general-purpose com
 puter algebra system written in julia that builds on the four cornerstones
  GAP\, polymake\, Singular\, and Antic (Hecke\, Nemo) and has capabilities
  for dealing with problems in number theory\, group and representation the
 ory\, tropical and polyhedral geometry\, algebraic geometry\, commutative 
 algebra\, non-commutative algebra\, and many more areas of computer algebr
 a. It is being developed as part of the [SFB-TRR 195 "Symbolic Tools in Ma
 thematics and their Application"](https://www.computeralgebra.de/sfb/)\, w
 hich is supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG).\n\nIn the first
  part of the talk\, we will give an introduction to the philosophy behind 
 OSCAR and discuss questions like "Why yet another computer algebra system?
 "\, "Why did you choose julia?"\, and "How does OSCAR compare to other sim
 ilar tools like [Symbolics.jl](https://github.com/JuliaSymbolics/Symbolics
 .jl) and [HomotopyContinuation.jl](https://www.juliahomotopycontinuation.o
 rg/)?"\nIn the second part\, we show some very introductory examples of ho
 w to use OSCAR. These are not intended to be mathematically interesting at
  all. Instead\, any listener with an introductory course of algebra should
  be able to easily follow the mathematics involved\, so that we can put mo
 re emphasis on the key usage principles and syntax.
