Math 583e -- Computational Number Theory (part 2)
- MWF at 1:30pm in MEB 243
Course Notes for Modular Abelian Varieties part of the course: modabvar.pdf
Professors: William Stein and Bill Hart
- Topics:
- Integer factorization
- Modular abelian varieties
Google group mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/583-uw09
- Grading: Your grade will be based entirely on 2 projects, one on integer factorization (due April 27), and one on modular abelian varieties (due June 5). There will be no graded homework.
