The South Carolina number theory community is pleased to announce 
Palmetto Number Theory Series (PANTS) IV to be held Saturday, December 8
and Sunday, December 9, 2007 at the University of South Carolina in 
Columbia, SC.

The Palmetto Number Theory Series (PANTS) is a series of number theory 
meetings held at colleges and universities in South Carolina, the Palmetto 
State. The primary members of the PANTS group are

    * Clemson University,
    * College of Charleston,
    * Furman University,
    * University of South Carolina. 

The PANTS group plans to hold three meetings per year with one of the meetings
slightly longer than the others.  

The plenary speakers for PANTS IV will be:

  Kathrin Bringmann   	  University of Minnesota  
  Dan Goldston   	  San Jose State University  
  Jeff Lagarias   	  University of Michigan  
  Tom Tucker   	          University of Rochester.  

Registration is free for all participants; graduate students are
encouraged to attend.

We plan for the meeting to run from roughly noon Saturday to noon Sunday.  
In addition to the plenary talks, we welcome volunteers to give 20 minute 
talks.  So far, PANTS meetings have been able to accomodate all speaking 
requests, but we cannot make any guarantees.  If you would like to 
give a talk, please e-mail Michael Filaseta at filaseta@math.sc.edu by 
Friday, November 16.  Once we have the full schedule set, we will ask for 
titles and abstracts.
