The MSRI workshop on Symbolic Computation in Geometry and Analysis, Oct. 12-16, 1998 was great fun. All the talks were excellent, especially Dave Bayer's and my own. The present article is a slighlty edited version of the transcript of the videotape. The video can be viewed, along with the other talks, at MSRI website(clique on Videos).

Added 11/24/98: My impressions of the previous talks at the MSRI workshop can be read in the transcript of the first ten minutes, prepared by the MSRI staff, and edited by Hugo Rossi, deputy director. It appeared in the EMISSARY (MSRI newsletter), Dec. 1998.


Note added Dec. 22, 1999: My prediction about huamn math becoming a competitive sport was quoted in Didier Nordon's column in the Sept. 1999 issue of Pour La Science , the French analog of Scientific American. Nordon is afraid, however, that future human math athletes will be stifled by sport beurocrats.
