General information

Number theory is one of the oldest areas of mathematical research. During the last decades, many important advances have been made in the area, including the famous "Fermat's last theorem". The overall goal of the present school is to gather together students interested in the area, and provide an introduction to some fundaments of modern number theory.

This will be a one-week school as part of the Number Theory Portuguese meetings.

The school will take place at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Aveiro. It starts early on September the 1st and ends in the afternoon of September 5th (see the schedule).

The school consists of the following five courses:

Accomodation

Some recommended three star hotels are the following:

 

For prospective participants

The school is aimed at master's students as well as young Ph.D. students (although very enthusiastic students at their last licenciatura's year are also welcome to participate) who are interested in learning some basics of modern number theory.

All interested students should register to the school by sending an email to the address encontros.tn.pt@gmail.com. There will be some limited funding to cover the local expenses (accommodation) of some participants. Those interested in applying for economial assistance should make it explicitly in the registration's email body and register no latter than June 18th. Also include (as an attachment) a curriculum vitae containing academic information (degrees obtained, ongoing studies, etc) as well as other information considered important together with a few lines explaining your interest for participating in this event.
