West Coast Number Theory

We are pleased to announce that West Coast Number Theory will be happening in 2021, in some form. Given current world circumstances (pandemic, wildfires, border closures), we haven’t yet decided on the format of the event. (Virtual? In-person? A combination or permutation?) We’ve given up trying to predict the future, so in true WCNT style, we’re just going to run with it and see what happens.

Regardless of whether we decide on a virtual or in-person event, consider this message your “save the date” announcement. We are investigating our options, and testing our personal limits.  We will let you know as soon as we have a clear idea of what kind of event we are comfortable running. In the meantime, please mark your calendars and prepare to join us at:

West Coast Number Theory, 2021 edition

This year, we will be starting the conference with an informal reception,
to be held in the Nautilus Room at Asilomar from 7-9pm. Drinks (Beer, Wine, Soda) will be available. Some small snacks will be provided, but we strongly encourage you to eat dinner before the reception. If you are staying at Asilomar, Dinner is from 6pm-7pm in the Crocker dining room.

The reception will include the first business meeting which will begin at approximately 7:30pm.

IMPORTANT: If you cannot make the first business meeting, but do plan to give a talk, please send your talk title to info@westcoastnumbertheory.org before 6pm on Dec 16 so we can make sure you are on the schedule.

For this year’s 50th anniversary conference, we are planning a special session of historical talks. If you’d like to give a talk that reflects on a historical aspect of number theory, your work, or the conference itself, please make a note on your registration form.
