Number Theory Down Under
24-25 October, 2014
Harbourview Function Centre, Newcastle
On 24th and 25th October, 2014, the Centre for Computer-Assisted Research Mathematics and its Applications (CARMA), is hosting a two-day number theory workshop in Newcastle, which we are calling Number Theory Down Under.
The workshop will take place at Harbourview Function Centre. The Harbourview Function Centre is located on the Hunter River just a moment's walk away from downtown Newcastle and Nobbys Beach.
Talks on recent results and problems of interest are invited from researchers of all levels; the only restriction is that it should be on a currently relevant area which is considered number theory. Student participation is encouraged.
Details about registration, confirmed participants, accommodation, travel, and anything else needed can be found below.
If you have any questions, please email one of the organisers, Mumtaz Hussain at Mumtaz.Hussain@newcastle.edu.au or Timothy Trudgian at Timothy.Trudgian@anu.edu.au

Travel
Newcastle is easily accessible via train or driving from Sydney; a train leaves every hour from Central Station to Newcastle ending at Newcastle Station, which is less than 10 minutes' walk away from the conference venue. There are also direct flights available from Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney.
Newcastle Airport is a small domestic airport with frequent daily flights to Melbourne, Brisbane and a few other places. There is a local bus (Port Stephens Coaches) from the airport to Newcastle town centre ($4.60). A taxi from the airport to the city costs around $60.
Accommodation
There are two main areas with hotels and backpacker accommodation — Newcastle East and Honeysuckle, both in walking distance to each other, and close to train stations. Honeysuckle is a popular area with lots of restaurants with great views across the harbour.Sponsors
This event is sponsored by the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) and Priority Research Centre for Computer-Assisted Research Mathematics and its Applications (CARMA). AMSI allocates a travel allowance annually to each
of its member universities (for list of members, see http://amsi.org.au/membership/members/).
Students or early career researchers from AMSI member universities without access to a suitable research grant or other source of funding may apply to the Head of Mathematical Sciences for subsidy of travel and accommodation out of the departmental travel allowance. For further details see
