June 27-29, 2009
Conference in Number Theory
Carleton University

Organizers:
Saban Alaca (Carleton), Gary Walsh (UOttawa and CSEC), Kenneth Williams (Carleton)

Supported by:

OVERVIEW:
The goal of the mini conference is to bring together top researchers in number theory from Canada and abroad in order to foster collaboration and to expose students to important problems in this growing field. We expect that this mini conference will establish and strengthen research ties among researchers in number theory.

FORMAT:

There will be three lectures per day (two in the morning and one in the afternoon) for each of the three days. The lectures will be of a survey nature offering a state-of-the art view of important topics in the field and related areas of mathematics with applications to cryptography. Emphasis will be placed on the main techniques in a given area as well as outlining some of the important open problems. Each afternoon a one-hour discussion period of these open problems will take place with the aim of involving both graduate students and established researchers in their solution.
