Algebraic Number Theory: 5th International Symposium, ANTS-V, Sydney, Australia, July 7-12, 2002 : Proceedings

TheAlgorithmicNumberTheorySymposiabeganin1994atCornellUniversity inIthaca,NewYorktorecognizethegrowingimportanceofalgorithmicwork in the theory of numbers. The subject of the conference is broadly construed toencompassadiversebodyofmathematics,andtocoverboththetheoretical andpracticaladvancesinthe?eld. Theyhavebeenheldeverytwoyearssince: inBordeaux(Universit eBordeauxI)in1996,Portland(ReedCollege)in1998, Leiden(UniversiteitLeiden)in2000,andthepresentconferencehostedbythe MagmaComputationalAlgebraGroupattheUniversityofSydney. TheconferenceprogramincludedinvitedtalksbyManjulBhargava(Prin- ton),JohnCoates(Cambridge),AntoineJoux(DCSSICryptoLab),BjornP- nen(Berkeley),andTakakazuSatoh(Saitama),aswellas34contributedtalks invariousareasofnumbertheory.
