Palmetto Number Theory Series

棕榈数理论系列(裤子)是每年在棕榈州南卡罗来纳州的学院和大学举行的一系列三次数字理论会议。会议在克莱姆森大学、查尔斯顿学院、福曼大学和南卡罗来纳大学轮流举行。裤子在2006-2007年成功地完成了它的第一年，未来的计划正在形成。每年三次的会议将在9月、12月和2月举行。9月和2月的会议将举行两次全体会谈，而12月的会议将举行四次全体会谈。长达一小时的全体会议将由来自东南部以外的顶尖数字理论家进行。每次会议还将有来自东南地区参与者的20-30分钟的演讲。这些会议的一个主要目标是为东南部的数论社区提供一个机会，听取最近在数论方面的纯粹和应用方面的研究。PANS会议吸引了杰出的数字理论家，也为地区性数学家，特别是研究生和初级教师提供了发言的机会。会议的频率和规律性促进了参与者之间的合作并加强了工作关系。会议的另一个目标是以最低的成本让所有职业阶段和机构类型的数字理论家参与进来。PANT演讲者包括研究生、初级教师和高级教师。PANT的参与者不仅来自南卡罗来纳州，而且来自邻近各州的学校。他们来自授予博士学位的机构，授予最高学位的机构是硕士学位，以及只授予学士学位的机构。组织者还将继续努力吸引人口结构多样化的参与者，包括妇女和其他代表性不足的群体。

The Palmetto Number Theory Series (PANTS) is a series of three number theory meetings per year held at colleges and universities in South Carolina, the Palmetto state. The meetings take place on a rotating basis at Clemson University, College of Charleston, Furman University, and University of South Carolina. PANTS successfully completed its first year in 2006 - 2007 and plans for the future are taking shape. The three yearly meetings are to be held in September, December, and February. The September and February meetings will feature two plenary talks, while the December meeting will feature four plenary talks. The hour-long plenary talks will be given by leading number theorists from outside the Southeast. Each meeting will also have 20-30 minute contributed talks from Southeastern participants.A primary goal of these meetings is to provide the number theory community in the Southeast an opportunity to hear about recent research in number theory, pure and applied. PANTS meetings attract prominent number theorists, and they also provide regional mathematicians, particularly graduate students and junior faculty, an opportunity to speak. The frequency and regularity of the meetings promotes collaboration and strengthens working relationships between participants.Another objective of PANTS meetings is to involve number theorists at all career stages and types of institutions at minimal cost. PANTS speakers include graduate students, junior faculty, and senior faculty.PANTS participants come not only from South Carolina, but from schools in neighboring states. They come from Ph.D. granting institutions, institutions whose highest degree awarded is a master's degree, and from institutions granting only baccalaureate degrees. The organizers will also continue to try to attract a demographically diverse participant base, including women and other underrepresented groups.
