Number Theory

In 34 refereed papers from the conference at Dalhousie University in July 1994, research mathematicians discuss analytic, algebraic, and computational number theory. Among the specific topics are the number of genera of positive-definite integral ternary quadratic forms, five formulas of Ramanujan arising from Eisenstein series, the average value of class numbers in cyclic extensions of the rational function field, and some refinements of an algorithm of Brillhart.
