The 4th Algorithmic Number Theory Symposium (ANTS IV) will take
place in Leiden in the Netherlands the summer of the year 2000.
Arrival day: Sunday July 2. The end of the conference is
on Friday July 7 at 3 PM.
ANTS IV will be hosted by the
Mathematical Institute
and the Lorentz Center
of the
Universiteit Leiden.
The ANTS conferences, which are held every two years,
are devoted to algorithmic aspects of number theory,
including elementary number theory, algebraic number theory,
analytic number theory, geometry of numbers, algebraic geometry,
finite fields, cryptography and computational complexity.
ANTS III
was held in 1998 at Reed College, Portland, Oregon.
The Leiden railway station is walking distance from downtown Leiden, which
is only a small area. You can also get a taxi at the railway station.
The campus is a 20 minute walk in the other direction from the railway station
and there is a bus every 30 minutes.
The easiest way to get around between campus, downtown and the hotels is what
all the locals do: ride a bicycle. You can rent bikes at the train station.
Walking or using public transportion are also good options. There is no need
to rent a car.
The talks are in the lecture halls marked "Gorlaeus", and the
welcoming reception on Sunday evening is at "Witte Huis".
The buffet on Monday night is at the "Hortus Botanicus".
You can print a customized map at www.mapquest.com.
The Witte Huis is located between the Oegstgeest-exit of highway A44
and the railway station Leiden Centraal, and houses several conference
participants.
It can be reached by bus from the train station: take bus 31 or 41
and ask the driver to call out when you reach the "Kempenaerstraat".
Now you turn left: cross the street and walk down "de Geesterlaan"
for two blocks. The hotel is on your right.
Local transportation
Leiden is located 25 kilometers south west of Amsterdam Airport (Schiphol).
The airport is on top of a railway station having train
connections to Leiden
that are frequent (4 to 6 times an hour) and fast (20 minutes
travel time).

Special event
on Wednesday July 5, 2000
Wednesday afternoon and evening will be devoted to (computations
related to) the number pi.
In the evening, the lost tombstone of Ludolph van Ceulen,
appointed in Leiden in 1600, and famous for computing 35 decimals
of pi which were engraved on his tombstone, will be replaced
in the Pieterskerk (St Peter's Church) in Leiden.
We originally planned to have this event on Thursday, but we had to move
it to Wednesday.
