项目摘要

This award partially funds a Special Year in Number Theory at the University of Illinois in 1999/2000. The Special Year will feature short and long term visits by international experts in Number Theory and culminate in a major international meeting, the Millennial Conference on Number Theory, to be held on May 21 - 26, 2000, at the University of Illinois Campus at Urbana-Champaign. Several smaller meetings are also planned in conjunction with the Special Year, including a regional conference in Fall 1999; a graduate student conference in early 2000; and an instructional conference on Fermat's Last Theorem in the Summer 2000. It is expected that these activities will help disseminate the latest advances in the field, foster interaction between leading researchers in Number Theory, stimulate research in the area, and provide a major boost to the careers of young researchers and advanced graduate students in the area of Number Theory.The Special Year falls into the general mathematical field of Number Theory. Number Theory has its history in the study of whole numbers, addressing such questions as those dealing with the divisibility of one whole number by another. It is among the oldest and richest branches of mathematics and was pursued for many centuries for purely aesthetic reasons. However, within the last half century, it has become an indespensable tool in diverse applications in areas such as data transmission and processing, cryptography, and communication systems.

该奖项部分资金在数论在伊利诺伊大学在1999/2000年的特殊年份。特别年的特色是国际数论专家的短期和长期访问，并在一个重要的国际会议上达到高潮，该会议将于2000年5月21日至26日在伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校举行。还计划在特别年期间举行几次较小的会议，包括1999年秋季的一次区域会议; 2000年初的一次研究生会议; 2000年夏季的一次关于费马大定理的教学会议。预计这些活动将有助于传播该领域的最新进展，促进数论领域领先研究人员之间的互动，刺激该领域的研究，并为数论领域的年轻研究人员和高级研究生的职业生涯提供重大推动。特殊年份福尔斯属于数论的一般数学领域。数论在研究整数方面有其历史，解决了诸如一个整数被另一个整除的问题。它是数学中最古老和最丰富的分支之一，并且出于纯粹的美学原因而被追求了许多世纪。然而，在过去的半个世纪，它已经成为一个不可缺少的工具，在不同的应用领域，如数据传输和处理，密码学，和通信系统。
