Description
Gr\"obner bases are a general purpose method in symbolic computation for
polynomials in several variables. They have many applications throughout
the mathematical sciences. This talk gives an elementary introduction to
Gr\"obner bases, by illustrating three such applications: Linear integer
programming, solving polynomial systems by eigenvalue methods, symbolic
solution of linear partial differential equations with polynomial coefficients.
