West Coast Number Theory Conference

该奖项为西海岸数论会议（WCNT）提供三年的资助，从2016年到其成立50周年。 自艾玛和迪克·莱默在加州大学伯克利分校成立以来，WCNT每年12月在美国西海岸或附近举行。近50年后，WCNT仍然是年轻研究人员和知名数学家在平等环境中分享他们工作的欢迎场所。 数论是一门古老的学科，作为现代数学中一个活跃而重要的分支，至今仍在蓬勃发展。数论的当前应用包括高速计算和数据加密。 在WCNT，每个演讲都有平等的时间，每个参与者都有平等的资金来源。 日常谈话涵盖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以及非正式的晚间小组工作会议。 在演讲者的许可下，这些会议的开放问题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、妇女和少数民族申请资助。会议的网址是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.
