The workshop was a nice blend of mathematics and computer science/algorithms. Being far from fluent in the latter, I had an opportunity to learn new approaches, to submit my requests to the developer community, and to reaffirm my (recently developed) belief that computers can indeed be used in proving purely mathematical theorems. Overall, I find the workshop quite beneficial, and I'd like to extend my gratitude to both workshop organizers and BIRS personnel; from my point of view, everything was perfect!
