Talk: |
Binary Cubic Forms and Cubic Number Fields |
Abstract: |
The aim of this paper is to present in a naive manner a small
part of the theory of binary cubic forms and in particular its
application to cubic number fields. Most of the results are due to
Davenport-Heilbronn , but the algorithmic applications seem to
be new.

Research Interests: |
Henri's research interests include number theory, and in particular
modular forms, algebraic number theory and computational number
theory. He is also very much involved with multi-precision packages
and symbolic algebra systems. He is the author and main coordinator
of the number theory package Pari-GP, and has written a basic
textbook describing most of the algorithms included in this package.
Henri Cohen is a professor at the Laboratoire d'algorithmique
Arithmetique et Experimentale (A2X) at the University Bordeaux I. |
Other Interests: |
Henri's main hobby is choir singing (classical repertoire), which
he does around 8 hours a week.

Comments: |
I am fascinated by the two worlds which mathematics encompasses:
the analytical world of rigor and form, and the artistic world
of creativity and intuition.
