Number Theory Foundation
The Number Theory Foundation (NTF) is a non-profit organization based in the United States which supports research and conferences in the field of number theory, with a particular focus on computational aspects and explicit methods.[1]
The NTF funds the Selfridge prize awarded at each Algorithmic Number Theory Symposium (ANTS)[2][3] and is a regular supporter of several conferences and organizations in number theory, including the Canadian Number Theory Association (CNTA),[4][5] Women in Numbers (WIN),[6] and the West Coast Number Theory (WCNT) conference.
History
The NTF was created in 1998 via a grant from John Selfridge [1] with an initial board of directors including Paul Bateman, John Brillhart, Richard Blecksmith, Brian Conrey, Ronald Graham, Richard Guy, Carl Pomerance, John Selfridge, Sam Wagstaff, and Hugh Williams.[7] Carl Pomerance served as President of the foundation for its first two decades and was succeeded by Andrew Sutherland in 2019.[1][8]
