Many classical results and methods of Number Theory are now actively used in important domains of applied mathematics like Cryptography,CodingTheory or Numerical Analysis.To enable these applications one must have explicit versions of these number-theoretical results and tools. This is why Explicit Number Theory emerged and rapidly developed during the last several decades.
In this CIMPA school we plan to introduce the students to this field. The following list is a sample of the topics that will be considered:
