Selfridge Prize
In honour of the many contributions of
John Selfridge to mathematics, the
Number Theory Foundation has established a prize to be awarded to those individuals who have authored the best paper accepted for presentation at ANTS. The prize, called the Selfridge Prize, is awarded every two years in an even numbered year. The prize winner(s) receive a cash award and a sculpture.
The prize winners and their papers selected by the ANTS Program Committee are:
* 2006 – ANTS VII – Werner Bley and Robert Boltje – ''Computation of locally free class groups''.
* 2008 – ANTS VIII – Juliana Belding, Reinier Bröker, Andreas Enge and
Kristin Lauter
