-----

The Arizona Winter School:
This conference is the first Arizona Winter School on Arithmetical
Algebraic Geometry.  The goal is to expose graduate students and young
researchers in number theory and algebraic geometry to current topics
in arithmetic geometry in a short span of time, and in an intense
interactive environment with the presence of experts in the field.
There will also be a professional development component which is
intended to provide an opportunity for young researchers to acquire
practical skills relevant to their careers.  

Topics for 1998:
The topic for this first year is `Diophantine Geometry related to the
ABC conjecture.' A series of survey lectures will be delivered by D.W.
Masser and numerous talks of both introductory and specialized nature
are planned.  The focus of the professional development component will
be the teaching of mathematics. Perspectives from mathematics
education research and from the classroom experience of mathematicians
will be presented. The component will include roundtable discussions
by participants as well as lectures.

Organizers:
Alexandru Buium, Minhyong Kim, and Felipe Voloch

Confirmed Speakers:
A. Buium, H. Darmon, D.W. Masser, B. Mazur, L. Szpiro, P. Vojta, and
F. Voloch
