Capital Number Theory

Australian National University
8–9 April 2017

This conference, with an emphasis on talks by students and early-career researchers, aims at being the annual autumn meeting for the Australian number theory community. We will bring together Australian number theorists and two international experts: Roger Heath-Brown and Olivier Ramaré.

The conference theme is the intersection of number theory with computation, broadly interpreted. Often a problem can be attacked in (at least) two different ways using different methods: for example, analytic methods for “large” cases and sophisticated computation for “small” cases. This enables a wide class of mathematicians to contribute to the problem. Our hope is that this conference will encourage collaboration between people with different interests.

Financial support

This event is sponsored by the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI). AMSI allocates a travel allowance annually to each of its member universities (for list of members, see http://amsi.org.au/membership/members/). Students or early career researchers from AMSI member universities without access to a suitable research grant or other source of funding may apply to the Head of Mathematical Sciences for subsidy of travel and accommodation out of the departmental travel allowance.

Transportation

There are many ways to get around Canberra. Below is some useful information about Bus & Taxi transport around the ANU, the Airport and surrounding areas.

Taxi

If you are catching a taxi to the ANU Mathematical Sciences Institute, ask to be taken to Kingsley Street, Drill Hall Gallery. From here, it is only a short walk to the Mathematical Sciences Building (John Dedman, Building 27). A Taxi will generally cost around $40 and will take roughly 15 minutes. Pricing and time may vary depending on traffic.

Taxi bookings can be made through Canberra Elite Taxis - 13 22 27.

Airport Shuttle

Airport express buses to the city are cheaper but they will not take you directly to your destination. The buses stop at 3 locations marked in the map below. The most convenient stop for getting yourself to the ANU is West Row, Civic.

Shuttle prices:

  • $12 one way
  • $20 return
