Mathematical Sciences: Number Theory with Emphasis on Algorithms and Algebraic Number Theory

这笔赠款支持亨德里克·伦斯特拉博士的研究， 首席调查员 Lenstra博士将继续他的 代数领域算法开发的研究 数论 这项研究还将影响到以下领域： 椭圆曲线和阿贝尔簇，有限域和群 理论 这是数论领域的研究。 Number 理论开始于整数和问题，如 一个整数被另一个整数整除。 它是其中的 最古老的数学领域，它最初是追求 纯粹的美学原因。 然而，在过去的半个世纪里， 它已经成为开发新算法的重要工具， 计算机科学和新的电子纠错码。

This grant supports the research of Dr. Hendrik Lenstra as a principal investigator. Dr. Lenstra will continue his investigations on developing algorithms in the area of algebraic number theory. This research will also impact on the fields of elliptic curves and abelian varieties, finite fields and group theory This is research in the field of number theory. Number theory starts with the whole numbers and questions such as the divisibility of one whole number by another. It is among the oldest fields of mathematics and it was originally pursued for purely aesthetic reasons. However, within the last half century, it has become an essential tool in developing new algorithms for computer science and new error correcting codes for electronics.
