Thirteenth Conference of the Canadian Number Theory Association, June 16-20, 2014

加拿大数论协会第十三次会议定于2014年6月16日至2014年6月20日在加拿大安大略省渥太华的卡尔顿大学举行，其中一天在渥太华大学举行。加拿大数论协会（CNTA）成立于1987年在魁北克市的拉瓦尔大学举行的国际数论会议上。CNTA的目的是加强和促进数论的学习和研究。为了推进这些目标，CNTA组织了大型国际会议，旨在为学生和研究人员带来数论的最新发展。NSF资助CNTA XIII的一个直接影响是培训大量的美国初级研究人员（研究生，博士后研究员和初级教师），让他们有机会参加会议并与该领域的专家互动。 数论是数学最古老的分支之一。数论学家研究有关整数的基本性质的问题。虽然其中一些问题可能很容易陈述，但它们的解决方案通常采用来自不同数学领域的先进方法。此外，数论的理论成果有着广泛的应用，并已被研究人员应用于密码学，编码理论，组合学和理论物理学。

The thirteenth meeting of the Canadian Number Theory Association is scheduled to take place from June 16, 2014 to June 20, 2014 inclusive at Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada with one conference day at the University of Ottawa. The Canadian Number Theory Association (CNTA) was founded in 1987 at the International Number Theory Conference at Laval University in Quebec City. The purpose of the CNTA is to enhance and promote learning and research in Number Theory. To advance these goals, the CNTA organizes major international conferences, with the aim of bringing the latest developments in number theory to both students and researchers. One direct impact of NSF funding for CNTA XIII will be the training of a significant number of junior American researchers (graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty) by giving them the opportunity to participate in the conference and to interact with experts in the field. Number theory is one of the oldest branches of mathematics. Number theorists study questions concerning the fundamental properties of the integers. Although some of these questions may be easily stated, their solutions often employ advanced methods from diverse fields of mathematics. Moreover, theoretical results in number theory have a wide range of applications and have been applied by researchers to cryptography, coding theory, combinatorics, and theoretical physics.
