Workshop Announcement: ---------------------------------------------------------------- LMFDB as a microscope and a telescope ---------------------------------------------------------------- September 4 to September 6, 2019 American Institute of Mathematics Research Conference Center San Jose, California http://aimath.org/workshops/upcoming/lmfdb919 ------------ Description: ------------ This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will introduce participants to the L-functions and Modular Forms Database (LMFDB) as a tool for research and teaching. The LMFDB contains a wealth of information on L-functions, modular forms of several types, elliptic curves and genus 2 curves, number fields, and much more. In addition to detailed information about individual objects, the LMFDB also includes information about connections between objects, including connections described by the Langlands Program. The workshop will involve a mixture of demonstrations, explorations, discussions about mathematical content, and discussions about the future of the LMFDB. The workshop is organized by Brian Conrey, David Farmer, and John Jones. For more details please see the workshop announcement page: http://aimath.org/workshops/upcoming/lmfdb919 Space and funding is available for a few more participants. If you would like to participate, please apply by filling out the on-line form (available at the link above) no later than June 1, 2019. Applications are open to all, and we especially encourage women, underrepresented minorities, junior mathematicians, and researchers from primarily undergraduate institutions to apply. -------------------------------- AIM Research Conference Center: -------------------------------- The American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) hosts focused workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. AIM focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on a significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of an important new result, or investigating the convergence between two distinct areas of mathematics.
