Sir Andrew J. Wiles receives the Abel Prize

The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters has decided to award the Abel Prize for 2016 to Sir Andrew J. Wiles (62), University of Oxford, “for his stunning proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem by way of the modularity conjecture for semistable elliptic curves, opening a new era in number theory.” The President of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, Ole M. Sejersted, announced the winner of the 2016 Abel Prize at the Academy in Oslo today, 15 March. Andrew J. Wiles will receive the Abel Prize from H.R.H.

DAAD Spring School on Combinatorial Stochastic Processes

DAAD Spring School on Combinatorial Stochastic Processes has opened on March 7, 2016 at VIASM. The topic of our spring school is “Combinatorial stochastic processes and its applications”. This field studies random permutations and partitions of a large population, and the reverse process, the merging of smaller units into progressively larger communities, called coalescent.

SEAMS Schools 2016

Since 2011 SEAMS Schools are organized in SEAMS member-countries. This series of SEAMS schools of various topics is supported by CIMPA to provide an opportunities for graduate students to learn advanced topics in Mathematics as well as to meet experts in the fields. There will be 7 SEAMS schools in 2016 which will be listed below (alo see http://seams.maths.web.id/). In each school there will be a number of grants. Graduate students and young lecturers are encouraged to apply to get financial support to participate in the school. If you are interested in submitting a proposal for conducting a SEAMS school in 2017, then you can submit your proposal for conducting a 2017 SEAMS School to Dr. Intan Muchtadi (ntan@math.itb.ac.id), and cc to Prof. Edy Tri Baskoro (ebaskoro@gmail.com) before September 30th, 2016. The decision will be made on November 10th, 2016.
