Research Institute for Symbolic Computation
RISC-Linz was established by the Austrian Government in 1987. It is located in the castle of Hagenberg but is organizationally an institute of the Johannes Kepler University in Linz. In close contact with the departments of Mathematics and Computer Science, RISC-Linz pursues computer mathematics in three facets: research, education, and industrial applications.
