[cmath] Workshop in Number Theory June 8-10

[Jessica St-James]

*Workshop announcement:*

*Number theory with a view toward Transcendence and Diophantine 
Approximation*

*Sponsors*: The Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences 
and the University of Ottawa

*Location and date*: University of Ottawa, June 8--10, 2013

*Abstract*: Michel Waldschmidt, a pioneer of Transcendental Number 
Theory, will receive
an honourary doctorate from the University of Ottawa on June 11, 2013. This
three-day workshop celebrates Michel Waldschmidt's work, gathering number
theory researchers from the Montreal-Toronto area. Some emphasis will be
given to Diophantine approximation, but many other areas of number theory
will be represented, ranging from algebraic to analytic number theory.

*Invited speakers*:
Henri Darmon (McGill), John Friedlander (Toronto), Jing-Jing Huang 
(Toronto),
Hershy Kisilevsky (Concordia), Claude Levesque (Laval), Ján Minác 
(Western),
Kumar Murty (Toronto), Ram Murty (Queen's), Damien Roy (Ottawa),
Cam Stewart (Waterloo), Alain S. Togbé (Purdue), Gary Walsh (CSE and 
Ottawa)
Michel Waldschmidt (Paris VI)

*Organizing committee*: Damien Roy (Ottawa), Cameron L. Stewart (Waterloo)

*Financial support is available for graduate students and postdoctoral 
fellows. *
