Workshop on Discovery and Experimentation in Number Theory

September 22 - 26, 2009, The Fields Institute

Location: Fields Institute

Description

The workshop takes place at two sites: The Fields Institute in Toronto and The IRMACS Centre in Vancouver. While participants are welcome at either site, we anticipate that most participants will choose the closer or easier site. We will share (by technology of a sophisticated nature) the core of the lectures though we will have some individual sessions at each site, primarily because of the three hours time difference. The lectures which are not shared will be video streamed and archived.

This is obviously somewhat of an experimental format, though the primary focus is, of course, the content. Technical assistance will be available at each site, so as to minimize glitches.

Please direct questions to Michael Coons mcoons(at)sfu.ca.
