UMaine to host 2015 Maine-Quebec Number Theory Conference

Number theorists and mathematicians from New England and Canada will present research and discuss ideas for future work at the 2015 Maine-Quebec Number Theory Conference Oct. 3–4 in Neville Hall.

The conference provides an opportunity for young mathematicians and graduate students to interact with leading scholars. The more than 40 presentations are free and open to the public. A full schedule is online.

The event is organized by the University of Maine Department of Mathematics and Statistics, with support from the National Science Foundation and UMaine.

In 1998, number theorists at UMaine and Laval University in Quebec founded the Maine-Quebec Number Theory Conference. Since then it has been held annually (with the exception of 2001) on a weekend in early fall, with hosting duties alternating between the universities.
