Selfridge Prize

The Selfridge Prize has been established by the Number Theory Foundation in honour of the many contributions of John Selfridge to mathematics, to be awarded to those individuals who have authored the best paper accepted for presentation at the Algorithmic Number Theory Symposium. The prize is normally be awarded every two years in an even numbered year. The prize winner(s) will receive a cash award and a certificate. The successful paper will be selected by the ANTS Program Committee.

The Selfridge Prize at the ANTS VII meeting was awarded to Werner Bley and Robert Boltje for their paper Computation of locally free class groups. The Prize at ANTS VIII was awarded to Juliana Belding, Reinier Bröker, Andreas Enge and Kristin Lauter for their paper Computing Hilbert Class Polynomials. The Prize at ANTS IX was awarded to John Voight for his paper "Computing automorphic forms on Shimura curves over fields with arbitrary class number". The Prize at ANTS X was awarded to Andrew Sutherland for his paper "On the evaluation of modular polynomials".
