Computational Number TheoryWorkshop
as part of FoCM'05

July 7-9, 2005

University of Cantabria
Santander, Spain

Organizers: A. Lauder (Oxford), J. Pila (McGill)

 
Now open for registration: from link below

This workshop is one of 21 workshops associated with FoCM'05, Santander.
The dates of FoCM are June 30 to July 9: our workshop is in the third period.
We anticipate approximately 15 talks, to be held in the afternoons. Plenary conference talks take place in the mornings; the plenary speaker associated with our workshop is Jan Denef (July 8, 9:00-10:00).

Please contact the organizers (lauder@maths.ox.ac.uk, pila@math.mcgill.ca)
if you are interested in attending and/or speaking.

We are unfortunately unable to offer any financial support to attendees; indeed there is a registration fee of  USD200. This is for the whole conference; other workshops (e.g. in computational algebraic geometry (in the first period: June 30-2 July) or random matrix theory (in the second period: 4-6 July)) may also be of interest to participants.
