About

This five-day bootcamp is aimed at graduate students interested in arithmetic and algebraic geometry. Each morning will feature two to three lectures organized as three mini-courses, one given by each organizer. Each afternoon will be devoted to problem sessions based on the morning lectures, giving participants hands-on practice with the material.

The workshop is targeted at graduate students who have taken a standard graduate algebra sequence and who plan to work in areas adjacent to arithmetic and algebraic geometry.
