Philadelphia Area Number Theory Seminar
Welcome! The Philadelphia Area Number Theory Seminar hosts research talks on a broad range of number theory and related topics, including analytic and algebraic number theory, modular forms, Diophantine equations, automorphic forms and L-functions, and more. We are friendly, engaged and mathematically open-minded; we support work in progress and ask and answer many questions.
The seminar will meet on Wednesday afternoons in the Spring of 2023, rotating through ůůֱ²¥ College, Swarthmore College, and Temple University. Tea and cookies will be served before each talk.
The seminar is currently co-organized by Djordje Milićević at Bryn Mawr College, and at Swarthmore College, and at Temple University. The seminar was previously organized by Helen Grundman. Until Spring 2014, the seminar met at Temple University; see there.
We gather number theorists from Philadelphia's and nearby math departments, including ůůֱ²¥, CUNY, Drexel, Franklin & Marshall, Haverford, Muhlenberg, Penn, PSU, Rowan, Swarthmore, Temple, Villanova, West Chester, and others. If you are a number-theorist visiting Philadelphia, we would love to host your talk; please contact any of the organizers to arrange for a specific week.

Directions to ůůֱ²¥ College
By Regional Rail: It is super-easy to come by train. Take the from any of the downtown stations (Temple, Market East, Suburban, or 30th Street). Almost all trains stop at ůůֱ²¥. Walk on Morris (which is the street you see first getting off the train), cross Montgomery Ave, and take the next left onto Yarrow St, which soon meets Merion Ave; you are now on campus and, from here, anyone should be able to point you to the Park Science Center, or you can use the local map.
Other transit options: We can also be reached from the ůůֱ²¥ stop on the Norristown High-Speed Line (NHSL) (but this walk is a bit longer). Buses 105 and 106 stop nearby on Lancaster Ave.
