Based on talks from the 2015 and 2016 CANT workshops at the City University of New York, these proceedings offer 19 peer-reviewed and edited papers on current topics in number theory. The volume features subjects such as sumsets, partitions, convex polytopes and discrete geometry, Ramsey theory, primality testing, and cryptography. Held every year since 2003, this workshop series aims to survey state-of-the-art, open problems, and future colleagues of combinatorial and additive number theory and related parts of mathematics. Each contribution in this volume is dedicated to a specific topic and reflects the latest results by eminent experts in the field. Researchers and graduate students interested in the latest progress in number theory will find this selection of articles relevant and compelling.
