UBC Number theory seminar

Welcome! This site is the homepage of the UBC Number Theory Seminar.

Starting September 15, 2021, the weekly seminar will be held online (via Zoom) on Wednesday at 3:00PM. This will be followed by informal discussion with the speaker. If you happen to be on campus, you are also welcome to attend the seminar in Room 126, which can accommodate approximately 18 people with space.

If you have any questions, please contact Debanjana Kundu or Anwesh Ray.

UBC is located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) First Nation.
