We discuss the theory of symmetric Groebner bases, a concept allowing
one to prove Noetherianity results for symmetric ideals in polynomial
rings with an infinite number of variables. We also explain applications
of these objects to other fields such as algebraic statistics, and we
discuss some methods for computing with them on a computer. Some of this
is joint work with Matthias Aschenbrener and Seth Sullivant.
