Investigators

Abstract

The University of West Georgia (formerly known as the State University of West Georgia) will be host to the Integers Conference 2005, a conference in the areas of combinatorics and number theory. The conference will follow the style of the successful "Integers Conference 2003," also held at the University of West Georgia. The Conference will also honor Professor Ronald Graham, on the occasion of his seventieth birthday. The 2005 conference will be somewhat larger than that of 2003; in particular, it will cover four days rather than three. The conference will attempt to serve as a catalyst for significant collaborative projects among mathematicians and computer scientists representing the areas of additive number theory, multiplicative number theory, probabilistic number theory, combinatorics, combinatorial optimization, game theory, and Ramsey theory. There will be four plenary speakers: Doron Zeilberger, Joszef Solymosi, Daniel Goldston, and Neil Hindman. There will also be approximately sixty 20-minute invited talks. The conference will gather mathematicians, graduate students, undergraduate students, and others interested in combinatorics or number theory. It will include student research talks, and promote interaction among research mathematicians representing the spectrum of "career stages," from the talented undergraduate to the internationally distinguished researcher. Various areas of expertise will be represented from the general area of discrete mathematics. Leading experts will present their latest work, and there will be much collaboration among participants. The research areas have many applications, including cryptography, genetics, neural networks, mathematical biology, radio frequency assignment for mobile telecommunications, coding theory, sequences for communications applications, and interconnection networks.
