USC NUMBER THEORY SEMINARS

The University of South Carolina offers a variety of different seminars in Number Theory:

Research Seminars	weekly seminars dealing with research topics of the faculty and graduate students
Reading Seminars	seminars based on material from a book; for example, recently we have been reading from Hugh Montgomery's "Ten Lectures on the Interface Between Analytic Number Theory and Harmonic Analysis"
Independent Study Seminars	seminars done by graduate students at the Ph.D. level who wish to earn credit for Math 798 based on selected readings supervised by a faculty member (recent seminars have included exponential sum techniques, p-adic analysis, a proof of Roth's theorem, and sieve methods)
Working Seminars	seminars centered around particular research projects that are being pursued by faculty and graduate students; click here for an animated gif picture of a recent working seminar
IMI Seminars	as part of the department's Industrial Mathematics Initiative, several seminars similar to a "working seminar" have occurred weekly; these seminars are slanted toward industrial applications and occasionally have involved Number Theoretic techniques

In addition, research presentations are given during an annual regional conference, the South East Regional Meeting On Numbers (SERMON). The location of this conference varies from year to year. Here is a list [ps] [pdf] of talks from the 1999 SERMON conference hosted by USC and some photos.
