Travel Support for Conference in Honor of Hendrik W. Lenstra, Jr.; March 21-23, 2003; Berkeley CA

2003年春末，Hendrik W.小伦斯特拉将离开加州大学的职位伯克利和开始全职工作在莱顿大学在荷兰。在他17年在伯克利分校，伦斯特拉写文章算术几何，代数数论，计算数论，密码学和交换代数。他经常发现创新的方法将这些领域联系在一起。通过他的文章和杰出的演讲，他使这些领域的人们了解了其他领域。这次会议的目的之一是向伦斯特拉表示荣誉。然而，主要目的是把这些领域的人聚集在一起。这次会议将是不同领域的人们进行新的合作的机会，并加强与会者对他们主要关注领域以外的领域的知识。小伦斯特拉要离开加州大学的职位伯克利花了17年的时间为数学的几个领域做出贡献，以及计算机科学中的密码学领域。密码学是国家安全的重要组成部分。Lenstra经常发现将这些领域联系在一起的创新方法。通过他的文章和杰出的演讲，他使这些领域的人们了解了其他领域。 除了纪念Lenstra，这次会议将把这些领域的人聚集在一起。这次会议将是不同领域的人之间进行新合作的机会，并加强与会者对他们主要关注领域以外的领域的了解。

At the end of Spring, 2003, Hendrik W. Lenstra Jr. will leave his position at U.C. Berkeley and begin working full-time at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands. During his 17 years at Berkeley, Lenstra wrote articles on arithmetic geometry, algebraic number theory, computational number theory, cryptography and commutative algebra. He frequently found innovative ways of tying these fields together. Through his articles and outstanding lectures, he made people in each of these fields aware of the others. One purpose of this conference is to honor Lenstra. However, the main intent is to bring people together from these fields. This conference will be an opportunity for new collaborations among people in different fields and to strengthen the knowledge of theparticipants about the fields outside of their primary focuses.Hendrik W. Lenstra Jr. is leaving his position at U.C. Berkeley after spending 17 years making contributions to several fields of mathematics, as well as the field of cryptography within computer science. Cryptography is an important part of national security. Lenstra frequently found innovative ways of tying these fields together. Through his articles and outstanding lectures, he made people in each of these fields aware of the others. In addition to honoring Lenstra, this conference will bring people together from these fields.
