Africa/Addis_Ababa
2026 School on Arithmetic, Geometry and Algorithms | (smr 4199)
Addis Ababa - Ethiopia
The call for applications is now open.
Topics:
Coordinated by AMU -- CIMPA -- CoRE-Math -- ICTP -- ISP,
The topics of this school are arithmetic and algebraic geometry, with a view toward applications, computational aspects and modern algorithms.
Arithmetic and algebraic geometry are classical topics, yet highly active fields in pure mathematics which recently have found practical applications, for instance in cryptography and coding theory. The school will give an accessible introduction to various foundational topics in arithmetic and algebraic geometry, including basics of commutative algebra, the language of modern algebraic geometry.
Moreover, we will highlight computational aspects and introduce the students to the usage of computer algebra systems. These are indispensable tools for research in arithmetic and algebraic geometry, as well as for practical applications.
