The Quebec-Vermont Number Theory Seminar brings together a diverse group of researchers and students in number theory. Meetings are held every other week for an entire day, with talks presented both by the members of the seminar and by distinguished visitors. The seminar centralizes the research activities of faculty and students from the University of Vermont, Middlebury College, St. Michael's College, Concordia University, McGill University, Laval University and the Centre de Research en Mathematique. This research falls into the general mathematical area of number theory. Number theory has its historical roots in the study of the whole numbers, addressing such questions as those dealing with the divisibility of one whole number by another. It is among the oldest branches of mathematics and was pursued for many centuries for purely aesthetic reasons. However, within the last half century it has become an indispensable tool in diverse applications in areas such as data transmission and processing, and communication systems.

魁北克-佛蒙特数论研讨会汇集了数论研究人员和学生的不同群体。每隔一周举行一次会议，为期一整天，由研讨会成员和贵宾发表演讲。研讨会集中了佛蒙特大学、米德尔伯里学院、圣迈克尔学院、康考迪亚大学、麦吉尔大学、拉瓦尔大学和数学研究中心的教师和学生的研究活动。 这一研究属于数论的一般数学领域，属于福尔斯的研究范畴。数论有其历史根源，在研究整个数字，解决这样的问题，如那些处理整除一个整数由另一个。它是数学最古老的分支之一，几个世纪以来出于纯粹的美学原因而受到人们的追求。然而，在过去的半个世纪，它已成为一个不可或缺的工具，在不同的应用领域，如数据传输和处理，通信系统。
