Conference Season
June 26th, 2007Next week is the 25th Journées Arithmétiques, my first proper conference, conveniently held right here at the University of Edinburgh. Should be an interesting experience even if I find myself unable to follow much of the content. More at my level is Topics in Algebra, Geometry and Number Theory, a two week summerschool for beginning masters/postgraduates in Utrecht, The Netherlands. I’m hoping that’ll help me shore up the foundations in a few areas connected to my studies and allow me to finally understand what the other geometers are on about! Then I’ll be in Dublin for a few days of September, at ECC2007, the 11th Workshop on Elliptic Curve Cryptography. Again, much could be beyond me, but it’s pretty much the field I’ve settled in to and the whole area interests me, so it seems worth trying nonetheless.

I spied your name! Fantastic place you study at - it’s quite amazing. (Woah- also noticed Dr C is going to be there- you might bump into him. But then again, there are going to quite a lot of people there!)
Even though you don’t understand the stuff then, later on when you look over it, it’ll make sense much quicker and you’ll probably remember the conference! Have fun.
