Palmetto Number Theory Series

棕榈数论系列（PANTS）是一系列的三个数论会议，每年在南卡罗来纳州的学院和大学举行，棕榈州。 会议轮流在克莱姆森大学、查尔斯顿学院、弗曼大学和南卡罗来纳州大学举行。 PANTS在2006 - 2007年成功地完成了第一年的工作，未来的计划正在形成。 每年的三次会议将在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议，12月的会议将举行四次全体会议。 长达一小时的全体会议将由来自东南部以外的主要数论家主持。 每次会议也将有20-30分钟的贡献会谈，从东南与会者。这些会议的主要目标是提供在东南数论社区有机会听到最近的研究数论，纯和应用。PANTS会议吸引了著名的数论家，他们也提供了区域数学家，特别是研究生和初级教师，一个发言的机会。 会议的频率和定期性促进了合作，加强了参与者之间的工作关系。PANTS会议的另一个目标是以最低的成本让所有职业阶段和各类机构的数论学家参与进来。 PANTS的演讲者包括研究生、初级教师和高级教师。PANTS的参与者不仅来自南卡罗来纳州，也来自邻近各州的学校。 他们来自博士。授予学位的机构、授予最高学位为硕士学位的机构和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.
