Abstract: I will discuss my current research in automated reasoning and symbolic computation. I will talk about two topics: (i) the use of decision procedures for quantifier-free theories to help mechanize induction, and (ii) Dixon resultants for solving polynomial equations. Time permitting, new research on a method for computing invariants of loop programs inspired by Colon, Sankaranarayanan and Sipma (CAV 2003) will be presented.
