<b>Workshop announcement:</b><br>
<br>
<b>Number theory with a view toward Transcendence and Diophantine
Approximation</b><br>
<br>
<b>Sponsors</b>: The Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical
Sciences and the University of Ottawa
<br>
<br>
<b>Location and date</b>: University of Ottawa, June 8–10, 2013
<br>
<br>
<b>Abstract</b>: Michel Waldschmidt, a pioneer of Transcendental
Number Theory, will receive
<br>
an honourary doctorate from the University of Ottawa on June 11,
2013. This
<br>
three-day workshop celebrates Michel Waldschmidt’s work, gathering
number
<br>
theory researchers from the Montreal-Toronto area. Some emphasis
will be
<br>
given to Diophantine approximation, but many other areas of number
theory
<br>
will be represented, ranging from algebraic to analytic number
theory.
