Mathematical Sciences: Five College Number Theory Seminar

9616541 David R. Hayes该奖项为五所学院数论研讨会提供支持。这是一个由新英格兰地区的五所大学支持的定期研讨会。研讨会为五所学院数论和算术几何方面的专家提供了一个研究中心。它还为五所学院对数论和算术几何感兴趣的本科生和研究生提供服务。这个建议属于数论的一般领域。数论的历史根源在于对整数的研究，解决的问题是一个整数能被另一个整数整除的问题。它是数学中最古老的分支之一，人们为了纯粹的美学原因而追求了许多世纪。然而，在过去的半个世纪里，它已经成为数据传输和处理以及通信系统等各种应用领域不可或缺的工具。

9616541 David R. Hayes This award provides support for the Five Colleges Number Theory Seminar. This is a regular seminar supported by five colleges in the New England area. The seminar provides a center for the research efforts of faculty in the five colleges who are specialists in number theory and arithmetic geometry. It also serves the undergraduate and graduate students at the five colleges who are interested in number theory and arithmetic geometry. This proposal is in the general area of number theory. Number theory has its historical roots in the study of the whole numbers, addressing such questions as those dealing with the divisibility of one whole number by another. It is among the oldest branches of mathematics and was pursued for many centuries for purely aesthetic reasons. However, within the last half century it has become an indispensable tool in diverse applications in areas such as data transmission and processing, and communication systems.
