Originally this was to be entirely on Geometry in computer algebra systems|especially CAYLEY/MAGMA and GAP (but perhaps also at least partially in other systems such as MAPLE)|to some extent just a wish list. However, at the request of John Cannon, that will be the second of two parts: I'll start with PART I. Some geometric algorithms (and applications). There are a couple of ways to phrase the...

Before we get lost in the technical details of manipulating functions, approximating complicated phenomena, or designing and analyzing models, it is useful to establish more clearly what exactly our target is. At a superficial level, this is easily stated. Our target is a mathematical model of the biotechnological phenomenon of interest, and this model should be valid, yet convenient for analys...
