AMS AMS - Andrew Message System Special Session on Computational Arithmetic Geometry (2006: San Francisco San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden , CA) Ed. by Kristin E. Lauter and Kenneth A. Ribet. American Mathematical Society The American Mathematical Society (AMS) is an association of professional mathematicians dedicated to the interests of mathematical research and scholarship, which it does with various publications and conferences as well as annual monetary awards to mathematicians. 2008 129 pages $49.00 Paperback Contemporary mathematics; v.463 QA242 Papers from an April 2006 meeting, 11 in all, describe recent results in computational and algorithmic aspects of arithmetic geometry. A thread that runs through a number of the papers is the application of number theory and algebraic geometry algebraic geometry, branch of geometry, based on analytic geometry, that is concerned with geometric objects (loci) defined by algebraic relations among their coordinates (see Cartesian coordinates). to cryptography and coding theory Coding theory is a branch of mathematics and computer science dealing with the error-prone process of transmitting data across noisy channels, via clever means, so that a large number of errors that occur can be corrected. . Specific topics covered include results of Cohen-Lenstra type for quadratic function fields, constructing elliptic curves of prime order, supersingular genus-2 curves over fields of characteristic 3, and search techniques for root-unitary polynomials.
