West Coast Number Theory Conference

该奖项为西海岸数字理论会议(WCNT)提供资金，为期三年，从2016年到会议50周年。自加州大学伯克利分校的Emma和Dick Lehmer创立以来，WCNT每年12月都会在美国西海岸或附近举行。近50年后，WCNT仍然是一个欢迎年轻研究人员和知名数学家在平等主义环境中分享他们工作的场所。数论是一门古老的学科，作为现代数学的一个活跃和重要的分支，它仍然蓬勃发展。目前数论的应用包括高速计算和数据加密。在WCNT，每一次演讲的时间都是相等的，每个参与者都可以平等地获得资金。日常会谈跨越数论中的许多不同领域，促进思想的交叉授粉和跨越标准边界的合作。会议包括正式的问题会议和非正式的晚间小组工作会议。经主讲人同意，这些会议的未解决问题将被收集并发布在会议网站上。特别鼓励研究生、博士后、初级研究人员、女性和少数族裔申请资助。会议网址为：http://westcoastnumbertheory.org.。

This award provides funding for the West Coast Number Theory Conference (WCNT) for three years, from 2016 through its 50th anniversary. Since its founding by Emma and Dick Lehmer at University of California, Berkeley, WCNT has been held each December on or near the West Coast of the United States. Nearly 50 years later, WCNT continues to be a welcoming venue for young researchers and established mathematicians alike to share their work in an egalitarian environment. Number theory is an ancient discipline that is still flourishing as an active and important branch of modern mathematics. Current applications of number theory include high-speed computation and data encryption. At WCNT each talk receives equal time and every participant receives equal access to funding. The daily talks span many different areas within number theory, fostering cross-pollination of ideas and collaboration across standard borders. The conference includes formal problem sessions as well as informal evening group work sessions. With permission of the presenter, open problems from these sessions are collected and published on the conference website. Graduate students, postdocs, junior researchers, women, and minorities are especially encouraged to apply for funding. The conference website can be found at http://westcoastnumbertheory.org.
