The 2019 AMS Einstein Public Lecture in Mathematics
BARRY MAZUR
Harvard University
ON THE ARITHMETIC OF CURVES
SATURDAY, MARCH 23 AT 5:30 P.M.
Kennedy Theatre, University of Hawai’i at Manoa
Reception to follow.
Barry Mazur is Gerhard Gade University Professor at Harvard University. Winner of many awards and prizes, including the National Medal of Science, Mazur has done outstanding work in many areas of mathematics—his work provided a foundation for the proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem—and is known for being able to communicate those results to non-mathematicians and to relish doing so. His former dean, Jeremy Knowles, said:
“Barry is not only a brilliant mathematician, but a wonderful teacher who engages biologists, physicists, economists, and others and seduces them into an understanding of the beauty and use of mathematics.”
In this public lecture, Mazur will give a survey of current approaches, results, and conjectures in the vibrant subject of algebraic curves.
The Einstein Lecture is part of the 2019 AMS Spring Central and Western Joint Sectional Meeting (March 22–24) at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
Ruth Haas (and Gary MacGillivray of the University of Victoria) are organizing the 30th East Coast Combinatorics Conference at the East-West Center on campus, February 11-14, 2019.

Three Legends of Universal Algebra and Lattice Theory,
worked most of their careers at the University of Hawai’i at Manoa.
They all will be approximately 70 years old in May 2018, and a conference, ALH-2018, was organized by PhD alumnus William DeMeo and others to celebrate their achievements.
