Mathematical Sciences: International Conference on Finite Fields: Theory, Applications and Algorithms

9301504 马伦 有限域理论可以追溯到高斯和伽罗瓦，目前它在数学的几个分支中发挥着重要作用。 近年来，由于有限域理论的广泛应用，有限域的研究又重新兴起。 世界上越来越多的数学家获得了许多令人兴奋的新理论结果。 有限域的许多新的应用和算法被发现。 尽管有专门的会议专门致力于有限域的应用或算法，但没有专门的会议致力于理论，算法和应用的结合。 显然，这三个不同群体之间的互动越来越多。 拟议的会议鼓励这种互动。 预计这次会议将导致有限域的许多更富有成效的应用，同时为有限域理论提供新的问题和动力。

9301504 Mullen The theory of finite fields can be traced back to Gauss and Galois and it currently plays an important role in several branches of mathematics. In recent years there has been a resurgence of research in finite fields due to the wide variety of applications of the theoretical aspects of finite fields. Many exciting new theoretical results have been obtained by a growing number of mathematicians world wide. Many new applications and algorithms of finite fields have been discovered. Even though there have been special conferences devoted exclusively to applications or algorithms of finite fields, there are no conferences devoted to the combination of the theory, algorithms and applications. It is clear that there is an increasing interaction among the three different groups of people. The proposed conference encourages this interaction. It is anticipated that the conference will result in many more fruitful applications of finite fields and at the same time provide new problems and motivation for fintie field theory.
